    Fitting Bar Riser's To Any Bike UNDER £20 | Honda NC750x / CB500X/F/CBR/REBEL
    Honda bar risers are aftermarket accessories designed to raise the handlebars on Honda motorcycles, providing a more comfortable riding position for the rider. These risers are typically made from durable materials such as aluminum or steel and are available in various heights and designs to suit different preferences and bike models.
    By installing bar risers, riders can achieve a more upright riding position, which can help reduce strain on the wrists, shoulders, and back. This is particularly beneficial for riders who experience discomfort or fatigue during long rides or for those who prefer a more relaxed riding posture.
    Bar risers can be purchased from motorcycle accessory stores or online retailers that specialize in motorcycle parts and accessories. When purchasing bar risers, it's essential to ensure that they are compatible with your specific Honda motorcycle model, as different bikes may have different handlebar mounting systems.
    Installation of bar risers typically involves removing the existing handlebar clamps and replacing them with the risers. It's important to follow the manufacturer's instructions or consult a professional if you are unsure about the installation process.
    Remember that modifying your motorcycle's handlebars can affect its handling characteristics, so it's important to consider your riding style and preferences before making any changes. Additionally, it's always recommended to consult with experienced riders or motorcycle mechanics for advice on selecting the right bar risers for your Honda motorcycle.
    New bar risers for my Honda NC750x but this is quite generic across other models and brands too.
    Just an inch higher and back does make a good difference on handling and comfort.

    Hiya, well after 3 years I have finally got around to fitting the bar risers as you suggested, I came across your video last night which reminded me I hadn't done it yet. I had thought mi bike wasn't too bad other than giving me aching hands after an hour or so of riding. I got my risers this afternoon and followed your instructions and like you, I didn't have to do anything to the cables other than give them a gentle tug to make the free play longer. I went out for a ride soon as I had finished and I was amazed, for £20 it's like you bought me a new bike, what a difference, my hand ache has completely gone and I am so much more comfortable and therefore happier, I'm sure the bike feels just right, you know that feeling when it just feels right and good, well I have that feeling now. It's weird it feels much happier tipping into corners at speed and I'm much happier doing maneuvers as well now. Did you ever take your bolts out and use Locktight? I didn't use it in case I wanted to change back but like you, there is no way I would do that now, I also used my old Hnnda top plate as I reckon it looks better than those Allen bolts, do you think that will be OK ?. Thanks again mate.

      @exeterrider  ปีที่แล้ว +1

      Nice one Paul,
      I couldn't be without mine now. Others have found the cables too tight, but again it hasn't caused me any issues either....No going back here.
      I never did locktight them but so far they have remind tight and no issues.
      Glad you got on OK with it. Other NC users say mine feels much better than standard bars. Cheers

    I too had shoulder pain while riding my stock 2019 NC750. I added the one inch up and back bar risers and it made a very positive difference. The shoulders are good for all day rides and I feel control is much better as well; I can counter steer and corner much easier. I could never go back!

    Thanks for your videos. Just installed a riser from LSL 25mm/up, 17mm/back . Instructions mention a 25Nm / 18.4lbf ft of tightening torque. On my NC750X DCT from 2015, I had to pull the cables a little, I am still not very comfortable with front brake cable that is resisting adjustment, seems to have glue on turret attachment. Still work in progress :-)

    • @exeterrider

    Been thinking about doing this everytime I ride my NC when after about 20 minutes I get the shoulder burn of doom but after watching different videos saying that the brake cables need re-routing I decide not to do it. Your video looks like it's a simple job so i'm going to take the plunge and do it. Thanks for the inspiration

Unfortunately, it turned out to be a complete waste of time trying to make it fit. The wiring harness from the light/horn switches only stretches about 10 mm... Have to return it today.

The only difference to you my front brake pipe is held in a rubber grommet and was a struggle to raise a bit because it had been glued into it from manufacturer and i also fitted the original bolts back in the top which i think look better than the alan key bolts supplied, enjoyed the vid keep them coming.

    I usually have to do stuff like this to my bikes. It is my no 1 irritation about bike manufacturers, their one size fits all attitude. If I buy a car - the cheapest car on the market, it will certainly have a seat that adjusts, probably adjustable steering wheel too. I can even adjust it on the go. But bikes, even very expensive ones offer little or no adjustment to handlebars or seat position. It can't be beyond their wit.

      Thanks mate, yes it passed 10minutes after the video. Just the suspension now, when the kids are off the tele I can watch someone I'm subscribed do his thing 😉👍, alignment? I must have missed that. Off and on job isn't it? or am I missing something?. Jane you lifted yours?

      Ahh got ya, yes it's 3mm thinner each side of the risers so I just centred it up and had to leave it as is. Shame really they couldn't mould it 6mm bigger.

    Interesting. Could you do that on say clip-on bars like a SV650X? just to raise it a little for comfort

      Hi Gary, I don't think it would work on clip ons without a bit of engineering involved.

      It's a ghost drift which explains that. Apparently it is doable on the f with some loosining of the cables

    Sir this is probably a dumb question but did yours mount with only two screws? I have the same ones and for the life of me can’t figure out if there is something I missed! I mounted the two in the back that go into the bike mount, but there is no other way to mount these. I have two bolts left over

    • @exeterrider
      @exeterrider  3 ปีที่แล้ว

      Hello sir, well maybe yours is slightly different but as long as it works and is strong and safe then just roll with it I say. But no, I don't think I had 2 screws left over.

  • @leonstancliff7218
    @leonstancliff7218 4 ปีที่แล้ว

    Just think about the math you are adjusting. Your bike is like a large lever, the bars are your force, the center of gravity is your load and the tire contact patch is your fulcrum. You just moved your hands about 50mm up and closer to yourself, giving yourself more control of the end of that lever. Like putting longer handles on a wheelbarrow. You are also now straight up and not leaning, so your strength is focused on the control of that lever.
    Quit worrying about the looks and concentrate on controlling the bike. Road survival trumps looks any day of the week. How good did you look when you went down on that icy patch a few months back?
