With all that rise I assume you needed longer cables?

 

[jcrowton]

Nope the cables reach with no problem, actually you can put on up to 10inches of bar rise

What part #'s did you use? All I can find is a 5" riser on their site.

you have to buy the pivot riser blocks, and you use the arctic cat blocks, they are the same part numbers yamaha and arctic cat are universal, then you buy the pivot adapter kit, i buy my parts through dennis kirk, part # for the 6inch block is 59-2595 $37.99 and then you buy the pivot adapter kit part # 59-2892 $47.99

How tall are some of you that are raising your bars? I am 6' 3" and need/want taller bars for the stand up riding that I love to do. My question is will 8" be enough and how do you like them while sitting as you have to sit to rail through the twisties-and that is just as fun?

 

[jcrowton]

I am 5'11" and 8" seems perfect, with you being 6'3" i would put on 10" of rise, with the 2" pivot adapter and an 8" bar riser

MrPlow Im 6'3 as well.
I can stand up with ease now with the same exact setup as his.
Im sure you WILL need handguards as you will be directly in the wind and elements.
Standing is perfect , as well you can tilt the bars ahead to where they should be s\positioned in the 1st place.
If you riased them without the pivot you would be standing near the middle of the tunnel.
If you like to radar run, you will prob put them back down as with them up that high you are a great big parachute.
