    Handlebar Risers

    Thinking about purchasing some Handlebar Risers from Touratech... (I don't like their new Web Site!) Here...

    Anyways, Quick Q. if I may... Will I need to change any of the cables etc. after fitting or will the originals stretch far enough?

    Thanx All

    you have about 25mm of play in your cables... so you can get a way with about that much of a riser.. any more and you will have to change your cables, the wires should not be much of an issue unless you go silly high

    I have those SW-motech risers and they are good quality and don't need other mods apart from releasing one of the brake hose clamps to create more clearance.

    Chad gave me a set of Nippy Norman's handlebar risers that not only goes up 25mm but also back which release a fair amount of stress on your shoulders

    I've got 35mm on mine, but the brake leads had already been changed, and they make long rides more comfortable.
