With regard to the handlebar risers and from a position of no actual knowledge I would suggest that:
1 916 forks are probably shorter than Monster forks so there would be little necessity to make the legs protrude through the top yoke, 2. given 1 above it should be possible to use the standard handlebar clamps un-extended with a set of bars that has an upward crank (not ape-hangers) and still miss the tops of the preload adjusters on the 916 fork caps, 3. personally I would be against using extender blocks above the set of standard Monster handle bar clamps both aesthetically and because the clamp bolts themselves will probably have to be made longer and they would be under more stress at the junction of the Monster top yoke and the original Monster lower handlebar clamps (increased leverage not aligned with the axis of the clamp). |

2. The black adapters shown (just set up in the pics as an example) will bolt straight onto the yoke but would be so low that they would 100% clash 3. Me too - want to find a safe / good looking option

IIRC Dukedesmo has an M900 with 916 forks.

Indeed I do and it's not the length of the forks that matters (though I'm not sure if they're longer or shorter as I never had the original forks?), rather the fact that the adjusters stick out the top and interfere with the bars.
I fitted 30mm risers and flat bars (higher bars alone don't help as the bend is further out than the fork tops) and the adjuster screws are still very close to the bars though you can (just) still get a screwdriver on to adjust them. Could fit higher risers but I like the height as it is and it turns out about the same as standard bars/no risers. Fat bars will be a problem though as the bolt spacing required won't line up with the yoke so would require risers with adapters or engineering. 916 forks in Monster yoke; ![]() Flat bars/30mm risers over 916 forks; ![]()

The Rizoma's will never fit but I'll check out the Oberon ones

The standard alloy fork tubes on Monsters are 450mm long. (SS models are 500.)
No idea what 916 ones are, Maybe DD could measure? The adjustable ones are standard on the Sie. They project 20mm above the top yoke. That's the fork leg not the including the adjusters. The Sie models have longer risers as standard to clear all the gubbins, these will be available as a spare part I would imagine. Mine has a one piece top clamp, I imagine that gives the assembly a bit more rigidity. The clamping bolts are correspondingly longer. There's probably no reason why you couldn't just double up the standard risers, using the appropriate bolts, but you would have half a handlebar hole showing.

Mine have 50mm protruding above the yoke but this could be more or less, depending on preload and ride height (how far the forks are into the yoke).

Thanks DD.
That might go a little way to identifying a set of forks that Nasher found in Mark's stash, which I bought and subsequently sold back to Nasher. They were 485mm and the best guess was that they were from 748. Looks like you have about 20mm of tube above the yoke in the photo?

Looks like I'm definitely going to need angled back and the Oberon ones are only available with a single mounting bolt from underneath which I feel may weaken the yokes too greatly.
DD how tall are your risers? They must be fairly tall if you have flat bars fitted Music collection - handy for those long nights tinkering and keeps me away from YouTube etc!

In that pic maybe but that was pre-build. Probably around 10-15 now as I raised it a little, along with the rear.

30mm, on top of the OEM parts.
