    FMX650 ride height riser/jack up

    Hi.
    Anyone Fitted handle bar risers or a rear shock jack up kit to the FMX 650 as being tall find it feels a bit tiny.

    If so anyone recommend where I might obtain them as looked but cannot find any.

    Many thanks in advance.

    Most people find the FMX tall enough so it's usual to find kits to lower bikes like this.

    You may have to look into either a custom shock or custom made linkages.

    You should be able to find Renthal bars with more lift to them. However you may have to lengthen all the wiring and cables etc if you try to go too tall

    Handle bar risers as in the little blocks you put under the bars are very common, touratech do them and nearly everyone else who makes aftermarket stuff for bikes. That's mostly useful for riding when standing though, The bars end up a bit higher which makes the normal (sitting) riding position a bit weird in my opinion.

    I've got raisers with a forward offset, as the regular ones are tilted backwards a bit and the NX is short enough as it is. This raises the bars straight up for about 5 cm.
