andyj007 Posted April 1, 2012 Report Share Posted April 1, 2012 Hi guys got a 250 2998, I'm 6ft, going to rise the bars up as I feel that I'm loading the grips too much under normal standing position. I have a tlr 200 Honda and I love that position. The bars are about 80mm higher and the foot pegs 30mm higher, so I make that a foot peg to bar about 50 mm. I'm thinking of getting some rises made for about 40 or 50 mm. This seems like a lot. What do you tall guys run.. Ps had my second tral today what a top bike I love it. Cheers Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tankygsy Posted April 1, 2012 Report Share Posted April 1, 2012 I run 45mm risers on my Gas Gas and I'm 5'8". Nice and comfortable stance. Annoyingly no one seems to do anywhere near a 2" riser so I had to fabricate them from some ally stock. Don't forget talker risers need longer bolts and they must be at least 12.9 grade high tensile bolts. 8.8's will snap eventually. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0007 Posted April 2, 2012 Report Share Posted April 2, 2012 I put a set of S3 risers on my beta, they let you move the bar clamp forward or backward as well, handy for personalization Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
reginald Posted April 2, 2012 Report Share Posted April 2, 2012 Couple of other threads on this one if you want to pop risers in the search engine on this site.....one of the most recent pointed at these http://www.roxspeedfx.com/cgi-bin/cart/showitems.cgi?subcat_id=297 Im 6ft 4 and I have some old renthals that are 200mm rise at the end tips which i like alot. I also have some borrowed prototypes which maybe around 240 - 260 ie mini apes - they are probably around 30-40mm to high.....however you pull it off Id be telling you nothing that ergos are very important. Here's a shot of me on Feetup funs TY with the mini apes http://www.trials.com.au/forum/download/file.php?id=6694&mode=view Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tony27 Posted April 3, 2012 Report Share Posted April 3, 2012 (edited) Looks like you're on a 80 there Biggest problem with using risers is that the hoses & cables probably won't have enough length to still fit & you'll need to have custom length ones done if this is the case Edited April 3, 2012 by tony27 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
