Hadle bar Risers 1 Year ago  
I think this has been asked before but I cant find it, so how much can I raise my handle bars (o6 r*) without having to change my cables. Thanks, Fifty Yet

Try the attached excel doc. It may help.....

I do have a question about risers, does anyone know who makes risers you can run the electrical lines through? I was able to get the electrical lines through my handle bars and and I want to run the wires through the risers to finish off the look.

I put 12 3/4" mini apes on mine, I had to reroute the cables and put on a new break line. They worked fine that way. Since then I put on some 18" apes, had to replace the throttle cables and the clutch............but worth it! Hope this helps.

Re:Hadle bar Risers 1 Year ago  
Midnight, I ran the wiring through the stock risers by having them drilled out on a lathe with a 6mm bore. If you want to run all your stock wiring through the risers, you'll certainly have to go larger than this. I replaced some of the heavy stock wiring with really thin stuff but then used relays in the headlight shell to switch the current. The switches on the bars just control the relays. (the current required to activate a relay is a lot less than switching the actual load of horn, headlight etc.

Hope this helps
