Default Handlebar risers?

Has anyone added a one or two inch riser to their stock RKS handlebars? I know a lot have changed bars to 12 or 14 inch, just looking at options. If anyone has, how easy? did you find a video? good instructions?

Let me know, thanks.

​​​​​​​Risers are tough due to the nacelle arrangement. You have to change the cover to allow risers to extend up from the bushings. I did this when I put 14” Wild1 MX bars, which look like T-bars. So no clamps, straight bolts to the bushings and straight up.

You’d have to do the same for any risers taller then the 1” stock clamp.


Looking down the bars to the nacelle

Thanks for the input, probably best to just put on new bars.

Again. We can’t read your mind. Use “quote” or some reference. PLEASE.
Sorry bud...new here! Was trying to avoid using quotes as they take up a LOT of space with endless scrolling thru posts! Forum should come up with a better method!

If it floats your boat then go for it, don't try silly justifications
I'll do "silly justifications" all I want. Ain't nobody gonna stop me.

Where did you get that light kit? I cannot find it anywhere. I called the dealer and they are saying there are none for my 17 RKS.
