bar risers

[Enrico]

Does anybody know of bar risers to fit 2018cb650f without requiring any alterations to cables brake lines or wiring or what is maximum rise possible without making alterations to cables etc ? ( Sorry if this has been posted before but couldn't find anything.)

Hi Enrico,
I did some experiments on my cb650f 2016 with set of risers which I had from my old bike. The main problem was the brake line. The maximum I have managed to fit in was 15 mm up. And it was on the edge and I didn't feel safe. So I would say to stay on the safe side you can go 10mm up with current brake line. For everything else the brake line must to be replaced with longer.
Once again main is 2016 model and I am not familiar with 2018.
Cheers

Thanks for reply. Think I will stick with the standard set up. It just seemed odd after the bars on my CBF1000FA which were a bit higher and further back.

Being a new guy to this site and I DON'T own a 650 (yet) I'll mention that Bike Master sells a set of universal risers. (I have them on my 2018 Versys.) These risers come in 3 levels, basically you can stack on pieces to get your bars taller. I believe they go from 1/2" to 3/4" to 1". You may want to try them, AND...they're relatively cheap at $36 or so!

May have to see if your local dealership has them, or something similar in another brand. Can always try Amazon or eBay too.

just got a reply from a UK ebay shop saying their variable adjustment bar risers they advertise for honda crf250 should fit my bike.
