Hey does anyone have a 2001 mxz 500 or other size sled with handlebar risers on it? I wood like to know how big you can go before you have to put a throttle extension on or different brake lines. Thanks

 

[mattgross]

you can go 2 without changing the throttle cable, the brake line i think is fine up to 4 or even 6, i suggest you go with 3 inches, thats what i have on my 2 sleds, here take a look at this page with my sleds, there are 4 pages http://www.snowmobilefanatics.com/snofan/topic.asp?TOPIC_ID=2873&whichpage=1

what i have to say bout risers: BEST INVESTMENT EVER

Does anyone know where I can purchase handlebar risers? I have a 97 Polaris 700 SKS.

Check out http://www.gripnripracing.com/products.htm i just found them. They look pretty cool They seem a little on the expensive side to me, but i've never bought risers before.

On my wildcat i just took the handlebars off,and made four 3cm aluminiun tubes(long) and bought bolts 3cm longer. and assemled it with the tubes on the underside of the handlebar.Seem to work ok,i would not use this method with long tubes and my wires are not so long either.

I put 5" riser on my 01 polaris 600. I re-ran my throttle cable and put in a longer steel hose brake line and it works just fine. bought mine from dennis kirk. $40

My bro has 3" on his 02 polaris and likes them

I'm just getting around to making my bars taller, after riding some newer machines it's a must have on the old girl.... I used a set of bars of a newer yammy they were 2.5" taller and can be adjusted back and forth so it makes them seem even taller.. But now I'm off to buy a throttle cable extension.. I think the brake line is going to be a touch tight too.. How would I go about making it longer..?

i got 4 3/4 on my xlt and mx bars, so shes up bout 5 1/4 inches from stock, whata differncr on ur back, i ahd to extend my throttle cable and my brake line, but it was well worth it

 

[ripperd]

I got 2" on my XCR. I had a guy that does machining find some scrap, he gave me two chunks that were 1" thick. I drilled holes in them, and put a big hole trhough the middle to lighten, and got some bolts. I gave him $5. They would have scrapped it otherwise.

 

[aklawok]

got a 2" on my REV anything taller means the stock windshield wont fit right.

 

[polaris600]

i made the steel brake line longer was using some extra 3" paintball hose i had layin around. its the same size and i got a part from local napa store to connect the two hoses. So far its workin great

 

[650Indy]

Did you extend at the caliper on the lever end.. thanks..

I have ridded over 100miles w/ my new bars all I can say is WOW..! what a difference.. they are a little over 5" taller from where they started life and no longer shaped like a boomerang..!!!
