jd Posted February 2, 2015 Share Posted February 2, 2015 Anyone tried any bar risers? looks like someone put 1 Inch risers and it fit, but maybe tight? anyone else need a little more pullback? I imagine anything more would need new brake line at minimum? just asking... thanks. josh Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
foxtrotzulu07 Posted February 3, 2015 Share Posted February 3, 2015 I have about 1" risers. Don't think one could go much more without re-routing/changing the length of wires/cables/hoses. I am going to look into those options as I want to go higher and make the bars come back closer to the rider. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jd Posted February 4, 2015 Author Share Posted February 4, 2015 Thanks for the reply, I'm going to try the 1 inch, see how it goes, did you have to relocate any cables? or maybe move the mirrors in closer? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

connellyt Posted May 4, 2015 Share Posted May 4, 2015 One inch risers will work but you will have to buy the ones that accept the instrument panel or buy a bracket to hold the panel. Both are available Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
connellyt Posted May 4, 2015 Share Posted May 4, 2015 I have both and each works well. An additional benefit of the bracket, the panel is closer so my aging eyes don't have to strain as much to read the data, especially the tach TC Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
qldnat Posted May 4, 2015 Share Posted May 4, 2015 What brand risers did you use? Do you have a part number? I'd like to try them out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

waktasz Posted June 30, 2015 Share Posted June 30, 2015 Everyone asking in this thread what brand and where to get the risers and nobody answers. Help a guy out. My back hates me at the end of the week after commuting every day. I guess I'm out of shape. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not like it's a big secret.

Premium Member n2shotokai Posted July 2, 2015 Premium Member Share Posted July 2, 2015 Okay, used:http://www.revzilla.com/motorcycle/sw-motech-78-handlebar-risers25 mm in black. The 28mm may work, cables are getting tight.http://www.motomachines.com/Hepco-Becker-Instrument-Riser--Yamaha-FZ-07_p_5051.html So now I am almost completely straight up, no more hunched over and I can see the instrument panel much better.

Premium Member oldsocks Posted July 2, 2015 Premium Member Share Posted July 2, 2015 Thank you for posting your results @n2shotokai I ordered the parts and hope to follow in your footsteps in a more relaxed ride very soon! The install seems fairly straight forward, any tips or tricks that might help keep the "I dropped the stupid little washer down into the thing and now I have to remove the rear wheel assembly to install these risers" scenario from happening? Thanks! -OS Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Premium Member n2shotokai Posted July 4, 2015 Premium Member Share Posted July 4, 2015 I read somewhere, someone rerouted the wiring harness for the instrument cluster from under and behind the bars to in front of the bars. Hang on to the bars when you loosen the clamps so it does not scratch up your tank. Would be easier with two people but I did it by myself.

amycyclenut Posted July 15, 2015 Share Posted July 15, 2015 I installed the 25mm risers and the HB instrument riser as well. This is a no-brainer install. I'm only 5'4" so even this amount of pull back is very helpful. 2015 FZ-07 1986 FZ600 1974 CB450 1973 RD350 sold: 1970 CB350, 1972 CB175, 2009 Vespa S 150 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
waktasz Posted July 16, 2015 Share Posted July 16, 2015 I did mine yesterday with bar risers that had an integrated threaded hole for the cluster to bolt right into. It's subtle, but it helps. I need to do another long ride and see how my back holds up, seems like it should be better already. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ornery Posted August 27, 2015 Share Posted August 27, 2015 Is this 30mm height too high to work? I can see routing the instrument cluster cable up the middle for added length, but the brake, clutch, throttle and other electrical cables might not reach.

ornery Posted August 28, 2015 Share Posted August 28, 2015 Well, I want to go on record saying this "project" is going to happen. I asked in another thread, if I might have the wherewithal to take on a vintage bike? So, how could I even think I might be able to handle that, if I can't do a simple handlebar riser? I know I can extend the electrical. Just a lot of time and patience there. I believe I can use a universal throttle cable kit to extend that. Same with the clutch. But, I'm curious about the brake hose. They route it from the right to the left caliper for some reason. If I took it straight down to the right side, I could easily pick up that two inches. Not sure if the bracket has a mounting point on the right, but I'll find out. Worse case is I'll have to buy a brake hose, big deal. Just wanted this on record, so I'll be committed to doing this.
