Handlebar riser

Post by ejweick »

I'm looking for an inexpensive set of handlebar risers for my KDX 200. I'm not having much luck looking in my usual internet bike parts stores. Can anyone suggest a specific brand/model? Or better yet, does anyone have a set they want to part with?

You can flip the stock bar clamps around. That will get the bars out of your lap at least.
I use a whole different triple clamp set-up. It gives the bike a modern feel.

Love my Rox Risers

On my E, an ordinary riser does nothing but make the bars closer to the rider

But with Rox I can raise them up and away

Elite 2" Rise x7/8" stem clamp x 7/8" and/or 1-1/8" Handlebar Dual Sport Pivoting Risers
These Rox Pivoting Risers allow you to clamp a stock 7/8" diameter handlebar or you can remove the 7/8" reducers and then clamp an 1-1/8" aluminum "fatbar". If you are thinking of going to a fatbar after you bend your stock set this is the riser to go with. Always check and confirm that your bike has adeguate cable and brakeline length before installing any handlebar risers.

Scotts top clamp mount wouldn't work on that angled bar mount triple anyway.

If you had a regular triple, looks like you could use the solid upper bar clamp to secure the rox risers at the lower mount point. The risers should give enough height then for the bar to clear the stabilizer. Maybe?
