Handlebar hieght

Postby jcarlson9 » Mon Nov 13, 2017 3:57 pm

My bars on my 2017 430 rr are fine sitting, but standing up they are too low. Can I raise the stock bars ?

Thanks.

How tall are you? I'm 6'2" and have the same issue. I am in the process of building my own damper mount and riser. I 3D printed it but will mill it out of aluminum this week. This is for a 2017 300 RR RE.

Fastway sells some like this too. My mount is 2" and I will have to extend my clutch line.

Or chase up someone with the 15' or previous 4 stroke bars as they are taller bend from factory compared to the 2t's as well.
On the 16' to current bikes they all have the same bend bars with the 2 & 4 stroke bikes which are lower flatter bars !!

I will have it all together next week. I will admit I don't like the looks of the 2" rise but if it fits ME better that's what matters. I can't imagine the 2" while seated will be that noticeable. I'm doing this to feel more comfortable while standing anyway.

Here it is. I hope to ride this weekend to see how it helps. Huge difference standing on it in the garage!

This is a nice kit, but I got mine from RMATV for ~$15 cheaper.
