Well it was way better if the stock bars are too extreme but the whole project doesn't work for a 69 YO with motorbike crash induced back damage, so the bike's on the market as well. If raising the bars is your goal this worked great and I think all the parts were $200. Easy to remove and replace, other than drilling out the anti-tamper ignition switch fasteners.
I'm back to riding my 550. I tried clip-on risers but that whole process looked weird.

I am more intrigued by the Ferrari in the garage, 308 GTB?
Beauty was hoping to do this mod myself,have back problems and old.
Hi, did you fit the CB bars to your CBR650F?
Was so uncomfortable, I nearly put my Ducati SS800 (with extreme, low/forward factory "Ricky Racer" clip-ons, at 68 YO I could not endure) on the market.
Finished a "bar rise" project this spring, earning a much more comfortable riding position. Used Apex 3" riser/adjustable clip-on, the expense and effort paid off. No longer contemplating selling, back to keeper status now.

IDidn't intend to bore y'all with detail....but thats the "expense and effort" I referred to.....+3" clutch hose (custom made at local hydraulics house based on my original as sample) Coupled with some other routeing changes, I fabbed a +3" FI fast idle cable and extended front brake switch wiring as needed all by my lonesome. Working without flaw, major comfort improvement.
OP, sorry for threadjack.

Not boring at all - those are the sort of things I was concerned about avoiding if raising handlebars on my cb650f.
