I'll apologize first, if this has been threaded to death, but I couldn't really find anything specific.

After a 3,000+ mile ride on my Uly, I've decided I need to bring the bars back a bit... possible 3"-4" (I got short arms...)

Any folks have any good ideas for bars that will accomplish this, and fit?


Thanks!


Notes:
1. Risers are not the issue, and won't fix what I am after.
2 . I'm not overly concerned if I have to get new cables... If I have too for the sake of the ride, I will.

Gonna have to go old school and measure.

Rise, pullback, and width.

Measure yours. Measure to where you want them. Then start hunting online or at a local metric shop. Remember these are 7/8" bars...

Hey Ratbuell,

Thanks... After doing some digging, I think Rox Risers (3.5") look like they might be a good option... Any opinion on them?

I'll measure first for sure... probably three of four times... grin..

You have an good resource for decent quality "longer" cables?

Thanks
