Southwest Moto-Tech risers and then some!

[rger8]

I did a search and found lots of stuff on Gen-Mar and Southwest Mototech risers, but not the info I was looking for.

I have the SW risers but want to go up even higher. Has anyone added to their extended risers? I was going to use the top set of my old stock risers to give me another 1/2 inch or so.? Real question is do you think I can re-route the cables to make it work or is that going to be a no go. I read somewhere that I might be able to move the cables behind the front forks and that might give me enough.

Anyone with experience please let me know what you think.

Thanks!

If you need to you can get custom cables made up.

I have genmar risers with angle+handlebar riser kit 30 mm, see:



After this mod i had to reroute the choke cable(outside the fork) and install a new front brake line(800mm hose, new banjos and copper washers)

.

I needed longer alen bolts in the raiser kits, i don't remember exactly... 80-100 mm long...and i also needed to pull a little bit out the wire harness of the headlight--no big deal, 1 inch or so...

Sotomoto,

Nice Pics, thats what I'm looking for.

Ok, so it's doable without to much sweat. Looks like a brakeline and re-routing a few things. I'll see what I can do. Any special brake line used?

Thanks to all for the info!

I used venhil hoses--i found them on ebay uk. You can choose between many colors and hose lengths---make sure you choose the exact length of brake hose and it's good to do that, after you have finished your handlebar riser kits installation-but first of all,disassemble front brake line. You will need new banjos, copper washers,Venhill cushioned clamp for brake line lhoses. If you ARE NOT SURE, GO TO A SHOP. SAFETY FIRST.
i used 2 banjos, 20 degree chrome and of course new brake fluid.  ---see here:

Performance--same as stock...very good quality lines...

If you'll search, you will find some other brakeline brands. I don't know much, i found this one and used it.

Good luck to your project.
