- Is there a riser set or a swap for the 2017 and up bars? I’m sorry I can’t help with this one
- Does a normal set of cruiser risers fit (E.G., the basic $35 set from amazon) in the same bolt holes? Again I can’t help. Maybe post a pic of what you mean exactly?
- Does anyone know if the versys triple tree top fit? or if the cabling fits? The cabling and hoses will likely fit but the triple tree won’t as the versys has upside down forks.
- Does the 2016 and below triple tree top fit?highly likely it will. Pretty much every generation of 650 has a same/very similar front end. The only exception is where the accessories bolt on. Top triples can be found cheap on eBay so if you don’t mind the gamble
- Does anyone know of a good place to get new cables if needed?Versys or previous gen with taller bars on eBay id say would be the way to go
hope this helps
2017 - Handlebar risers
Greetings!
I've been riding cruisers for awhile, and finally decided to hop into a ninja... a 2017 KRT edition, it's great and SUPER fun.
Bought it and loved it, but the more I ride it, i'm coming to the conclusion that my bad back isn't up to par for long rides - i can go about 45-60 minutes but after that, i'm not doing too good in the back department. I know this is by far a comfort sport bike with almost upright angles, but it's not agreeing with my body.
With my old cruiser (V-star 650) i could go for hours without any issues.
I'm 37, but i've been working desk jobs for the last 20 years which has done a number on my back.
with the 2017 and up, it has the "clip on style" looking bars and not the normal handlebars. i've contacted BEET who does have a setup for this that can heighten the bars by about 10mm and using the stock cables, but apparently the guy who gets these shipped out is out on medical leave for a few months... good times!
i'd like to move the bars back to where they were in the previous version, or maybe a touch higher - coming from the changes to 2017.
The clip-on handlebars, which attach to risers that are well above the triple clamp, are an inch farther forward and 1.65 inches lower
QUESTIONS!
