Default Help with raising forks / handlebar

Bought a used 06 250s. Came with a Moose Racing handlebar and lowering links on the side. Got home and did a ton of mods to the bike and the last was lowering links. Problem is the forks can't be raised enough to lower the front end to match the back because they hit the bottom of the bars. I installed the Moose bars hoping for some reason the different bend would give some more room but nope. I'm about 10mm short of the height I need. Can someone give me some quick options? I'm sure a ton of people have dealt with this same problem...


Thanks

You should find something here that will work:

Just make sure the tire clears the fender when fully compressed.

Ride on

I used a Bikemaster bar riser kit.
It was ~$35. Can raise the bars up to 2" IIRC. It has multiple riser plates to get just the height you want.

+1^^
This is the kit I use on mine. Just make sure that the cables don't bind and all of the wiring and hoses are not in a pinch.
