handlebar adjustment

[Indy]

Has anyone adjusted thier handlebars? I have a problem being able to reach the throttle on hard right turns. Have to reach under. Can the handlebars be rolled forward? Will this solve the problem? Any other suggestions?

Plus I keeping shredding my snow flap when reversing off of trailer, went to a shorty.

I installed a 1" riser block with a mountain throttle cable, much more comfy. 8)

I was considering a riser, but don't see how it would keep me from having to reach under on tight rights. thanks for responding.

You can rotate the throttle lever (and brake) up and down on the handlebar. I believe the throttle has 2 phillips head screws that need to be loosened.

I am having the same problem as you only when turning in a tight circle. I also would like to know the answer as well. I hope there is an easy solution....

If you do like us mtn guys you can put a 1" riser without longer cables (I have a 2"). You can grind off the tab that is riveted to the bars and put them in any position. I did this and added a 2" pivot riser with handguards both from sportech. I don't have a good side view of the after change but can get one tomorrow for you here is a before side view and after angled view. You can tell that the bars are well over three inches higher due to the tilt forward though from the difference in these two pics.

I have considered changing to the srx handle bar. I belive they are shorter.
