Fitting 35mm bar risers.. whats needs to be changed?

[rocks]

I plan to fit a set of Misgels 35mm straight up bar risers.
I have been told that the 25mm ones "do not" require any mods/changes to brakes etc, but the 35mm might do?

So questions one, on my 2000 reg R1150GS (non abs) will i need to change anything? I suspect the top break line will need to be lengthened.. if this is the case, wheres the best place to get a new cable?

Hi John

should be a doddle, but you'll prolly need a new brake line - Hel are good if you tell them exactly what you want (length, type of banjo, orientation of banjo etc). They are in the "links" section I believe.

Or have you got those new cable operated leading shoe type brakes on yours?

Hope the fizzy arm syndrome is getting better.

Cheers Simon.. Yes hope to get the bottom of it soon, easy up today though trying to paint the new office was interesting.
