Higher bars
 
Hi hope u guys can help .
My bike has already 20mm risers but still feels like I'm stooping when stood up.
Are there any handle bars out there that are worth a go ? Without any longer cables etc needed ?
I'm 6ft 3 tall n lanky arms n legs.

Any links or brand names ?
Also who makes a cheap but effective radiator bash plate ?

Cheers :)

I've fitted 30mm risers and the they are fine with standard cables.

I've seen in several places that 30mm is supposed to be the limit with stock cables.

I've also moved my pivot pegs over from my preivios ride and they are also a bit lower than stock. That bring another ~10mm

Renthal 613s. Throttle cable does need re~routing however.

My bars are 95mm up from the top of the triple clamp to bar centre then
another 45mm of bar rise..140mm all up..
I have a set of ROX anti vibe risers on it which give a 55mm rise..
Clutch cable is 75mm longer than stock... thottle cables only just
make it...
so it gives 2 sets of anti vibe rubber's in the system...

That's quite funny - on a Z it's the other way round. My throttle cables are about 120mm longer than stock, but I have a stock clutch cable.


Incidentally, I wrote a guide to making your own cables here... http://dashmoto.net/making-control-cables-1
