I wasnt sure exactly where this topic fits in so...
I want to raise the height of my bars on my 95 ZR700, they are way too close to my knees for my taste and I think they would be far more comfortable about 6" higher. I was wondering what you guys think would be better, taller bars or a riser? If I go the route of a riser, do I need a pivoting one? If I want the rise straight up and not back toward the driver, I would need to get a 15 or 30 degree riser correct? I wanted to upgrade the bars too, maybe something a little more modern looking, I like the idea of straight bars or a slight angle towards the rider, but want to keep the handwarmers, would I need to get aftermarket ones? What is the stock diameter of the bars now (my sled is not with me right now so I can't measure the diameter)? I know I'll need to get throttle and brake line extensions, I assume they are pretty much all the same right?
