level41 Posted October 25, 2016 Share Posted October 25, 2016 Hi, Which handlebar risers should I buy? I would like to have the handlebar more up and closer to my body. I know usually they sell 1 or 1,25" pieces, but I wonder what the maximum is I could lift them? I wished I could lift them 2 or 3". If not possible, 1.25, or 1" will be fine.

You may be better off buying new handle bars that put the grips higher and closer to your body. Just a thought.

AlbatrossCafe Posted October 25, 2016 Share Posted October 25, 2016 I agree, if you want them that high, just buy new bars that move it towards you. Be careful because if you move it too far you will have to get extended brake/throttle/electrical lines Dual headlights or deathhttp://fz07.org/thread/5384/albatrosscafes-galleryhttp://fz07.org/thread/5174/dual-headlight-upgrade-completed Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cruizin Posted October 25, 2016 Share Posted October 25, 2016 Yep, dirtbike bars are the way to go and Protaper makes a ton of different sizes and shapes. You can see some here Renthal also makes some awesome handlebars see some here I had Renthals on my FZ-09 and they made a world of difference. What I do is buy tubes of silicone and fillt he bars with the silicone and let it dry for a few days with the ends taped. Then, after installing, with the bars full of silicone, all vibrations are gone. This seriously reduces fatigue and allows you to ride longer. It's an upgrade that I recommend highly.

ornery Posted October 25, 2016 Share Posted October 25, 2016 Buy these for a no fuss installation: linkROX SPEED FX ATV YAMAHA GRIZZLY KODIAK 2" PIVOTING RISER for 7/8 inch HANDLEBARS Plenty of extra wire to the gage cluster, which is easily raised. Clutch cable will be at its limit as well as the brake cable. If you want higher than 2", be prepared to replace those. “The real cycle you're working on is a cycle called yourself.” — Robert M.

rewplayff Posted October 25, 2016 Share Posted October 25, 2016 Aren't the gauge mounts on the stock risers also? So you'd have to figure out how to mount your gauges if you swap them out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Any cheaper ones available, even if they would rise less? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ornery Posted October 27, 2016 Share Posted October 27, 2016 I've learned motorcycles aren't the most practical mode of transportation. Can't believe what I paid for simple sliders and spools. My Kriega US20 bag was over $125 (But, I do love it.) Oil filters, oil, batteries, insurance... don't even think about a new exhaust and/ or ECU! Those risers are a bundle, but it would take at least that many dollar's worth of effort to make them, so what the hell? “The real cycle you're working on is a cycle called yourself.” — Robert M.

level41 Posted October 28, 2016 Author Share Posted October 28, 2016 I see they're a different design than the standard aluminum riser pieces for 1" cruiser handlebars, that are often sold as a pair with 2 bolts for $20-$30. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ornery Posted October 28, 2016 Share Posted October 28, 2016 If you want the most adjust-ability there is no choice. The extra money allows you to pull them toward or away from you, as well as raise them. “The real cycle you're working on is a cycle called yourself.” — Robert M.

They're pieces that are add-ins on the stock system, so they just add 1" up. If you had larger sized bolts, you could buy 2 sets, and raise the handlebars up by 2", but I wouldn't recommend it, due to higher torque on the bolts; and if it wasn't tightened well, the bolts might actually break off with 2 pieces.

peteinpa Posted January 4, 2017 Share Posted January 4, 2017 First try to loosen the clamps and rotate the bar. Mine was low from the dealer set-up. Speedo wire also routed wrong. Should probably check mounting of front wheel.? Got new red 2015 FZ-07 on 7/22/16! Black 2006 Honda ST1300 53K miles. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
