Great news , i should get them in a week.
Not sure about videos but very simple installation. Just put some paper towels around MC's when you break the lines loose. And don't panic if it takes a while to bleed the brake. I personally always let it hang above the bars overnight with a zip tie loosely actuating it.Are there any videos? I tried searching YouTube but could really find anything, more due to my lack of computer skill than anything. Were they hard to install?
I would have done the same had I known. I'll be replacing my lines in a few seasons with longer ones anyway (or when the rotors wear out).I use the Heli Bar riser with Pro Taper Raptor bars. The wiring is long enough if you re-route it but I bought a second hydraulic hose extension from Heli Bars ($30) for the clutch hose. All is well.
I too have a bad wrist and the Helibars help immensely!Thanks for starting this thread it will likely be very helpful for me. The stock bars would most likely be fine for me but both of my wrists are messed up from my last deer accident 4 years ago, I used to think with time my wrists would improve but it actually seems more like they are getting worse. Risers that are a little up and back seem like what I probably need. Like most motorcycle parts prices they seem pretty high but I very likely will be buying a set one of these days.
I had the Factory Yamaha tank bag and the bars did hit at full lock but did not impede turning. The control buttons just graze the bag but are not effected either.Handlebar Risers might cause issues with my Tankbag ?
Good tip Eric. And yes personal preference on which ones to use. Reason I went with Helibar Risers is because it's what most of my riding buddy's have used over the years. And the engineers actually ride, test, and retest, to get the perfect fit. I will tell you I was worried about the handlebar bend on the Super Tenere. It has a lot of sweep. I have to remind myself I'm not going to be standing up on this bike for long periods like my dirt bike. So between the bar bend and risers it is really comfortable. No more numb hands!!I've run ROX risers on both Gen I and II. The Gen II has the 2" risers that rotate. They give you a lot more flexibility in your position than the Helibar risers, but both do a good job. No need for me on longer lines, just followed the AltRider modification video to give a little more relaxed lines. Easy to do.
The OP asked about risers and rides a 2018 from the sig line. For anyone reading this thread, remember that Gen I (2010-1013), risers do not fit Gen II (2014-0n). They can be bolted up, but don't fit quite right and are not as secure as you really want them. Get the correct style for your year of bike.
Lots of different risers there, but nothing under $40 will actually fit a gen2 Tenere.
Mine are similar (30mm). Got mine used so not sure where they were made. Cables and OEM tank bag just clear. Better riding standing and less prone to have that pain between the shoulders.I'm using the simple risers made in Turkey and sold on eBay. Inexpensive and works great with stock hoses and cables and wires.View attachment 56559
