Default Holy Bar Risers

My god what have I been missing out on. I got some 15 mm Tusk bar risers, figured 18 bucks was worth a try. I love it! I'm 6 feet tall and that extra distance made the stock bars money. They also have 30 mm risers but that seemed a bit much. I didn't want to get stuck buying cables, I haven't had to adjust any controls for the test ride either. I will fine tune the brake line routing tomorrow.

Just thought I'd share that.

I got them from Rocky Mountain ATV. So far cables are good. I need to fuss with the brake line but that's more of an issue because my GPS mount and my lever guards.

Highway dirt bikes has the second gen hand guards out and they now sell pro tapers with the bar ends tapped and insert installed. I might get those in addition at some point. I had some issues on my last rise with the Acerbis hand guards. The plastic mushroomed off the end and pinched the throttle tube so I ended up riding the rest of the weekend with the bolt on the tube loose to relieve the tension.

I just put on the Bikemaster version. Started with the lowest setting...so much better...might add some more after today's ride.
I actually gained room for cables because there is more room to route them, now that the cockpit isn't so cluttered.
Going to order a Scotts under bar damper, now that there's room under there, then I can use it on my KTM200 which already has a mount.

About how tall is the lowest setting? I think my bike needs another 10 mm to be perfect.

I'm going to say from looking at it, the lowest rise is 7/8", with maybe another 1/2" in spacers(1 thin, 1 thick) but I'm eyeballing it.
