GPZ900R Raise handle bars?

Post by lauriep »

HI
Anyone know if this can be done or if/where the items can be purchased?
Raising the handle bar height on a GPZ900R?
50mm or so from standard.
and what is required to complete, ie do you actually require longer cables, lines?

Thanks

that's probably the best bet.....

and Laurie - yes, you will need longer brake lines for a 50mm lift at the very least. You may find there is enough play in the clutch and throttle cables (not free-play ... up-n-down play) so that these fit the new bars without a problem. I recently changed the bars on my ZX12R from the OEM clip-on style low bars, to a normal Z1000-style top-clamp mounted bar.....and both the clutch and throttle cables fitted up fine.
