what is the best way to raise m2 handlebars say an inch? Risers? Blast bars? S3t bars? | ||

Risers are more convenient to install, but Blast/S3T bars can sometimes be found for less. I had to reroute the clutch cable to the other side of the steering stem, as I recall. Some years of S3T bars are exactly like Blast, but some have a 1" width difference in the lower bar clamp area. Can't seem to differentiate by the stamped #, and some seem to not be stamped. | ||

I ordered the risers 1in from Al. Hoping the cables all make it. The ride to CO did me in. | ||

Your cables will reach. I installed 1 " riser on my 2002 M2 no promblems | ||

I also installed the 1 inch risers no problem with the cables | ||

How do the risers affect the fly screen/instrument fit? It looks to me like the instruments will jut above the screen. | ||

I have risers and it does put the instrument dash at the top of the screen at the center and just above on the sides. I have thought about switching the left and right headlight brackets so they point up and raise the headlight and fly screen. One of these days I'll try it. | ||

That headlight switch is an interesting idea. I see I didn't mention I switched handlebars to Blast size. I only bought the risers, didn't use them. | ||

Update on adding the risers? | ||

The risers did rise the instruments out of line with the stock flyscreen but I have Givi windshield. The 1 in rise made much more comfortable to ride long distance. Well in a parking lot I leaned over and went over slowly and now the bars are bent. So s3t bars are coming. |
