Sounds like you guys need taller seat foam n covers to match your new bar heights. I would see the racers like David knight and his tall seat profile

I got the taller seat from seat concepts and i wouldnt change a think with my cockpit. I have my bars pushed a bit forward so it matches how i ride my snowmobile.

I'm probably going to go up at least 2 inches, maybe 3 and the taller bar too....

I see on motion pro's website that they have a 3 inch longer clutch cable, but nothing listed for a longer throttle cable. In fact, the throttle cables they have are listed as either stock or shorter. I have research to do.

Previous owner put on a larger gas tank aftermarket, so that might alter things too. Man, I wanted to be out and riding by now!

Advise is so welcomed!@

With my 3 1/2” risers that 3” longer clutch cable just BARELY fit. For the throttle cables I ended up making my own. Surprisingly it wasn’t that difficult and kinda fun.

Default Would you mind sharing how you built the throttle cable?

I'd be willing to give that a try.

Also, besides the clutch and throttle cables, did you need anything else when you brought it up by 3"?

Thanks!

+3" wonder if the front brake line can be slacked by readjustingp the lower brake line mount on the left fork leg guard and removing the wire brake line holder by the caliper
