Ebola Posted September 18, 2009 Share Posted September 18, 2009 I have a set of Bar backs on my 1100rt and I was wondering if I could mount the handle bars directly on top of the old mounting holes on top of the Bar Backs, adding a 1" rise, but not the 1" back. I'm 6'5" and feel like I could use a little more reach to the bars. It also hits my center tank cover. Can I accomplish this with the current hardware? Thanks, Evan Link to comment
r77toy Posted September 18, 2009 Share Posted September 18, 2009 I THINK that you can drill out the tapped holes,and use bolts 25 mm longer, I THINK. Link to comment
Ebola Posted September 18, 2009 Author Share Posted September 18, 2009 Can I just use longer bolts and still use the taps anyway? I just wanted to check to see if anyone has done this. Sorry for being lazy. Link to comment
r77toy Posted September 19, 2009 Share Posted September 19, 2009 If you don't remove the threads in the risers, you won't be able to tighten properly. Link to comment

I would like to try a set on my R1100RT. Is there enough cable and wire for 1" Back and 1" up? David Link to comment
