Anyone raised the bars on their Lightning say 1" with one of the bar riser kits out there? Any issues with having to extend wiring, or clutch cable/brake line? Thinking it might be a little more comfortable on my XB12? | ||

if you do a search, i think i remember reading somewhere that you can go an inch no problem, any more than that and you could have issues with cables and such. | ||

I kinda did by putting a S top tree on my R. then used Precision Engineerings riser/ fatbar adapter.  | ||

Something like this?  | ||

Did you need to switch all the cables and brake line to the Lightning's? I picked up a Lightning top tree to do the same thing on my bolt...after I finish another project. | ||

you gotta have one helluva set of stones to ride that thing on the highway. | ||

How in God's name do you ride something like that? Although, I think I will call photochop (Message edited by cataract2 on August 28, 2007) | ||

I just raised the bars on my XB9S with the 1" risers from American Sportbike. The only issue I had was with the amount of front brake cable that extends from the uppermost cable stay. I loosened both stays and pulled the cable upward to provide enough length at the top to allow for the extra inch and then re-tightened the stays. I was torn between the 1" and 2" risers but I didn't want to have to deal with changing cables. Turns out the 1" risers made a substantial difference in terms of comfort and feel. Hope this helps. | ||

Bake, Where did you get the bracket for the ignition? Home made? I converted the front of my XBSs to R, but had to maintain the original top tree due to angle difference. | ||

Did you need to switch all the cables and brake line to the Lightning's? Yes I went to S throttle cable and S brake lines | ||

Where did you get the bracket for the ignition? Home made? Yes and it's an easy one.... except I had to give up the steering lock   <img> | ||

I'm using the 1" risers from Precision Engineering on my XB9S. Along with the added rise I am able to push the bars a little more forward than stock (contacted the fork adjusters when moved forward in the stock set-up) giving me a much more comfortable position. I moved the clutch and brake lever 3/8" toward the center of the bar and did not have to change either the clutch cable or brake line. | ||

Hey Jamie, I hope you emailed Yao Ming and told him where his missing custom was! | ||

Put a set of blast bars on the cityX. No new cables needed, but they did need to be rerouted a bit to make it happen.  |
