Advice needed re: bar risers etc

[ds99]

I have a 2005 955i and I have fitted some SW Motech bar risers, but I would like to fit something to make the bars sit closer to me (so I don't have to reach as far)

Can anyone suggest anything? I have done some research and "rox risers" seem to make a lot of products that do all sorts of similar things.

I would rather not have to fit new brake lines etc

I am in the UK, so ordering from the USA/Canada is something I try to avoid due to 20%_ import taxes.

thanks

It's only a guess since I haven't done anything like your suggestion but I would think if you move the bars too far you would have to change the brake lines etc.

Rox seem to sell a lot of pivot bar risers. (see below) but they are all in imperial size. does anyone know what imperial size i would need?

How about China... they make everything these days...

I'm with John on this. I currently have a 1-1/4" riser on mine and the stock brake lines are at their limit. I have seen a lot of after-market risers on eBay that "lean". They are made from solid aluminum and look like they would be strong. You'll be the first to try.

Search eBay: "Handlebar Riser"

One other thing... My handle bars almost touch the tank in a full turn. If you bring your handlebars back too far they might hit your tank.

Yea... I'm quoting myself.

Attached is a picture of my detached brake lines, 1-1/4" risers, and my handlebar almost hitting the tank in a full turn.

1 7/8 Rox risers worked for me. And yes, I have them tilted back towards me and did not have to change any cables on my 2006 USA Tiger.

I've just installed the ROX 2" anti-vibe risers on my '06 with no issues whatsoever re: cable length or clearance to tank on full lock.

I second the 1 7/8 Rox risers, or third, or forth...whatever, I like them :)
