matgriff Posted May 18, 2021 Report Share Posted May 18, 2021 Hi all. I need to get some additional height on the bars of my 2009 290. The current setup seems to be standard Sherco "fat bars" what options are available to me ? Can I get some different clamps with longer bolts or do I need to swap out for a pair of aftermarket Renthal bars or similar ? Standard setup pictured here: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jackman290 Posted May 18, 2021 Report Share Posted May 18, 2021 Hey Mat, you can make your own with some flatbar and longer bolts. Or, apico and CSP make the same thing. I put a set of S3 risers on my 290 and they can also move the bars slightly forwards or backwards. I think it brought the rise up to 1-1.5” if I recall correctly. You don’t need to replace your bars unless you absolutely want to (I didn’t). I can definitely recommend the s3 risers from personal experience: https://shop-s3.com/gb/home/51-adjustable-handlebar-clamps-s3.html hope it helps! I can’t seem to find any pictures of when I had them mounted on my bike, sorry Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

stpauls Posted May 18, 2021 Report Share Posted May 18, 2021 How high are your current bars? You can get new bars with up to a 6.5" rise. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Did not like their "Buffalo Bars" however, I tried these before discovering their bar clamps. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
