Bar risers
 
Want to get some bar risers as when up on the pegs the standard bars feel a touch too low.

in boots i think im about 6'4". So what bar risers would you recommend? i think they need raising about 25mm - 35mm but as im new to this im not really sure.

I'm 6' and use 30mm risers, you may need more?? 25-30mm is generally OK regarding cable lengths, higher ones may require changes, especially for the throttle. The ones I use are SW Motech.

i really cant be arsed with altering cables. guess 30mm will be my limit then.

This may sound stupid but do the risers come with the suitable bolts...or is that a seperate purchase?

yeah ive got Venhill brake lines on my Fazer. Ordered them and they were totally wrong, didnt fit at all. Took a lot of sorting out but got there in the end.

If im honest, i just cant be bothered. i dont have the time plus what time i have i want to be out riding. So, as it stands i wont get any risers more than 30mm so i dont have to alter anything.

You could win a set at the lakes and save your money.

And most of all have fun doing it.

Which ones did you use as there seems to be non specific to the Ten? Gonna go for a 30mm raise. Next job is to find some pegs, which is proving stupidly hard considering the Ten is a new and popular bike.

Cheers
