I'd like to add some rise to my bars. How tall (up-in) can I put on without having to worry about replacing or re-routing cables? I would also like to move the tach and speedo to the bar. Would they work as is on a stock bar? How much rise would the speedo and tach accept if on the bars?
Thanks.

I think my risers are 4 up and 1 back. No problem with the cables.

ther is another place to check...daryl at xf6-custom. he has a set of 4-inch polished risers...they are straight, but believe me they make the ride and handling alot more comfortable, and stable feeling. i'm only 5'8-5'9 (short), and they feel good.

I have 6" risers on the new Valk. At first I didn't like them but have gotten used to them and enjoy. The prev. owner re-routed the cables and all works well. The height did block the speedo & tach so I raised them both and brought them up and back, not onto the bars though (not the look for me), by fabricating a new bracket to mount them on using the original mounting holes on the top triple tree. Try the site goose suggested, they have the stuff to move the speedo/tach to the bars.

chiefy....that's why i told you to go to daryl. with those 4 inch risers the handlebars will be in a place where you will really like. and you won't have any issues with the throttle cables. he also makes a relocation kit that enables you to mount your stock gauges onto your handlebars, and carries the cables for your gauges when they are relocated. it's like a kit form when you get all the parts together, and it fits with with no problems.
