Raising Handlebars on 750 SS ie

Greg · 19-Jun-2003, 19:57

Hi Guys,
Does anyone know where I can get either adjustable clip on raisers or a handlebar conversion kit for my 2000 750 Supersport i.e? I love the bike but after a few miles, I really suffer with aching wrists and have trouble operating the clutch. I have fitted a larger clutch slave cylinder from Tecmoto which has helped but I am after any suggestions. Have demo'd a Multistrada which has a better riding position for me but do not want to change the bike. Thanks, Greg

do u ride covering the brake and clutch levers ? if so u might find moving the levers helps with the wrist problem
if not u can buy bar risers im sure
also why do people have problems with the weight of the clutch i find mines fine just using 2 fingers

They have several brands/types listed in their paper catalogue starting at £184.

The usual robbers (M&P etc) do quite a big range of risers, worth a call.

thanks for the suggestions. I am off today so will go for a ride & try adjusting the levers to see if it helps. Have also ordered a catalogue from M & P.
Cheers, Greg

Search for 'Helibars' either on the 'net or the old board - I remember putting a link in thre ages ago.

I'm looking at another route as the Helibars are about £220 !!!!

Busters accessories sell bar riser clamps in various sizes (inc 50mm) that raise the bars some 50mm as well - I figure I have enough fork sticking through to mount the clamp ABOVE the top yoke and then cut my own clip-ons down from a length of handle bar.

Also check out Harris - they do some cool clip-ons also E-bay and VORTEX clip-ons in the USA.

Regards - Frank

Either closer to you or further away (as you're sitting on the bike) depending on your wrist-angle! I've moved mine further away and the difference is remarkable.
Can even do a reasonable slalom through thc cones!

by the way
when u make any adjustments check nothing fouls on the fairing from lock to lock before riding off

Thanks for all the suggestions, having gone for a long rideout after having adjsted the brake & clutch levers down quite a lot it has made a big difference. Even if I get a slight pain in the wrist, with the levers in this position they are a still lot easier to use. As a result, I don't think I will invest in raised clip ons for the moment. The big test will be when I ride up from devon for World Superbikes at Brands Hatch in July!

As another short term stop-gap you could always try putting some foam grips on as well....made a noticable difference on my dumper truck
