Bar risers for 1100 Evo

[Omar]

I just wonder if anyone has bar risers for an 1100 Evo they want to sell before I go ahead and buy some?

While I can't help with second hand risers, Omar, I can recommend the CNC Racing ones that I have fitted to my Evo.



I have the highest of their three options, which works out at about 7mm above stock and there's no need to lengthen the hoses or cables to fit them. With any new risers, check that the bars/switches don't hit the tank at full lock and adjust your lockstops to suit. This is from http://www.ukmonster.co.uk/monster/s...ad.php?t=55168 which you may find helpful.

For ages now, the standard bar clamp has bugged me; it's a pretty basic casting and really sticks out against all the other billet stuff and the carbon, as yusaf has already noted:

The only alternative risers that caught my eye were the CNC Racing ones (http://www.ukmonster.co.uk/monster/s...9&postcount=21) but, for at least 18 months, only the black, red and gold finishes were available and I only wanted silver/titanium. As recently as the end of February, CNC Racing told me that they only had those three colours and didn't know when, or indeed if, they would be producing more silver ones.

And then, thanks to the wonders of the internet, I found a place in France that apparently had the silver ones. I told them what CNC Racing had told me but they assured me that they could get a pair of silver ones to me in three weeks. I was sceptical but, sure enough, 26 days later, they turned up. So I doff my chapeau to www.starshop-moto.com great service and excellent communication.

Installation is straightforward, if a little fiddly. Because these are individual risers, they rotate until they are tightened. If they're not exactly lined up, the bars won't sit properly in them. The difficulty is that they tend to twist slightly as you torque them down. Another pair of hands would help in keeping them straight.

I got the 59mm risers as those are the closest to the stock height. They also come in 48mm and 36mm versions but I didn't want to go lower; I've tried the 1100S riding position (20mm lower) and that didn't work for me.

The actual result is that they are 7mm higher than stock. Not enough to stretch cables and no change to the lockstops is needed. The switchgear is slightly closer but not enough to touch the tank. I also fitted button heads to the mirror clamps, which gave a couple of extra mms clearance.

I've not had a chance to try them out yet - it'll be interesting to see if the extra 7mm is noticeable. There does seem to be less of a reflection in the instruments than with the standard clamp.

So here they are, before and after...





As with all CNC Racing stuff, the quality is excellent - really beautifully machined - and just the effect I was looking for.

One point to note - these are universal risers and come with 65mm mounting bolts, which are too short for the Evo's yoke. I had to get some 90mm bolts before I could fit them.

Of course, the question now is: should I get some replacement bars too??

Thanks yet again Luddite. A search only identified black ones at €113!

I will look around next week to check out the choices.

[Luddite]

You might find this method of tightening the risers useful, Omar.

By the way, Starship Moto are still advertising the titanium finish for €135.

I don't know whether they still ship to the UK or what the cost would be.

Many thanks Luddite.

I have the Slingshot Racing bar riser on my Evo. Please note that the photos show the riser upside down compared to its fitted position, you have to look carefully to see what is concave and what is convex. Also the description should read raises bar 'by' 1.5 inches not 'to' 1.5 inches. Also again the cables will be quite a tight fit and you will need to do a bit of careful arranging to get them right, but its not too difficult. Nice and shiny reflection in your dash is a free bonus, I added some black tape to mine.

[Tim88]

As an afterthought, the Slingshot solution is a bit clunky looking and an obvious addition to the standard setup, so will do nothing for the looks of the bike, but it is probably one of the tallest solutions. I have got used to the looks and am not so constantly offended anymore!

Thanks for the replies.
Digging around google, it also seems you can change the bars to Rizoma MA005's for a similar effect?
