As stated before. Minimal refitting of cables and wires. Loosen some of the cable clamps and pull alittle to get more slack at the bars. EZ peezy

For the life of me, i cant figure out how to post pics, or i would. Also, save the tutorials.

How much does Yoo handlebar risers actually raise the bars and how far is the offset?
I have the Tusk riser but I would like the same height but moved back a bit. I may order them along with yoo windshield

It's to be noted that I didn't had to reroute any line, perhaps because I trimmed the width of my handlebars when I installed the bar end weights.
I find them very comfortable as they allow me to stand up without reaching down, and also when seated the arm position is more relaxed with elbows falling down in a natural way.
I'm very pleased with them.

I went to install my risers and realized that although the upper part is the correct size for our bars, the lower part is sized for a smaller bar. You can still clamp it down, but it doesn't come with spacers, so there's a gap.

To those more knowledgeable to me, is it all right to have that gap?

Sounds like you got a set for a bike that came with 7/8" bars that you are upgrading to 1-1/8" bars. I'd send them back for exchange.
They will probably work fine, but the correct ones will the better.

I believe you are right. I got them from Winyouchanook in Thailand, so returning them is probably not an option.

Yes, there's a small gap. In fact the lower part isn't even really "round". As long as the flat part is correctly seated against the cradle I think we're good to go. My risers are installed like that and they're rock solid.

If you neep more pull back also have you thought about changing the bars with the tusk chub bars 1 1/8 taper down to 7/8. Come in a couple of different bends.

Indeed, the Tusk Chub Handlebars, CR High Bend, give a nice increase in both height and pullback. I have them installed on my Honda XR650L, and I like them a lot. They are an excellent value, selling for only $39.99.

Check the sizing chart tab at the following link for the handlebar dimensions.

Wondering, with the cables out of the plastic shroud, what is the ultimate amount of rise/pull back that can be accommodated without changing out the cables - has anyone figured this out yet. I will need a pull back - Rox risers will pull back up to 2" so can that be managed given existing cable length?
