This may be what you are looking for:

Because of the angle of the triple clamp you will get less rise and more back than the spec.

In addition to installing handlebar risers, you can also choose another set of handlebars which have a larger pull back. Check the sizing chart at the following link to compare handlebar dimensions.

Alternatively, you can try the Rox Risers, and let us know if they work. Can you borrow a pair from another motorcycle?

When I installed the Tusk 30mm 1 1/8" risers, I could not center the handlebars because the throttle and brake lines were too tight.




I moved the throttle cable and brake line outside the plastic shroud surrounding the ignition key, and all was good.

DSChic, check out the risers that Winyoochanok is selling! Brings the bars back as well. They did require abit of adjustment as far as the cables go, but it was minimal. They also worked perfectly when fitting his larger windshield

I most likely would have went for the ones that Winyoochanok has, but I had already the Tusk risers.

What handlebar guards are those? What size clamp did you get for the inner clamp?

Tusk handguards with modified 7/8" inch clamps.

But there is more to the story:

winyoochanok Risers

Has anyone installed the winyoochanok risers and if yes .... results? He sent me a pic of them ... appear to be very well made.

What is the black piece around the fuel cap in that last picture? Also, do I see some sort of kevlar guard on the tank? I'm curious about these pieces.

Around the fuel filler is a mount for a Bags Connection Micro tank bag.

Not a very large bag, just big enough for keys, sunglasses, phone, earplugs, etc.



On the rear part of the tank is a a rubberized tank protector with a fake carbon fiber pattern.

They will fit the handlebars.

I don't know if any relocation of the cables is necessary.

Aleong1967 and Tinman Tim have the Yoo risers, but AFAIK they haven't reported back about the installation.

From tinman tim's post: "They did require a bit of adjustment as far as the cables go, but it was minimal."
