How to move the handlebar risers forward 10mm


ULEWZ

Recommended Posts

Here in Québec Canada, I'm wondering where I can find handlebar riser for my FJ. I looked at Parts Canada, Motovan, Kimpex, even in Gamma sales catalog but can't find anything....I would like to rise the bars 1 to 2 inchs max. Any advice someone?  Thank you!!
Rox Risers makes a few different ones. I bought http://www.revzilla.com/motorcycle/rox-1-14-block-offset-risers-for-1-18-handlebars but the clutch cable is just a tad too tight for my taste so I purchased a longer one and am waiting before I install them.

BikeMaster makes a kit that allows you to have 4 different riser settings from 1" - 1.5" This might be a great way to "dial-in" your bike incrementally. I am always wary of mods that don't have any flexibility/adjustability when having such is so simple to do. Not a bad price, either: $34 - woot!!

Well i cant seem to align the wheel no matter what i do.... and since this ia major project doing i dont know what to anymore -.-
If you can't align the front wheel, then there are other issues at play. You will need to adjust the forks in the fork clamps. This is probably the easiest thing you will/can do on the FJay. Please post a picture of the misalignment.

And the bike is new? Never been wrecked?
 
Put the bike on the center stand, jack up the front just enough to take the weight off, then loosen the upper and lower triple clamp bolts. "Align" the front end (having someone hold the front wheel helps, while you move the bars). Retorque the bolts, done.
 
Normally you do not have to loosen the steering stem nut under the handlebar that you took a picture of.

You should also loosen the axle just a bit.

I was skeptical, but it did help with my back on my 300-400 trips.
