Tuning and modding » Bar Risers Recommendations - R1250RS

Hi everyone,

I am interested in adding risers to my 2022 R1250RS - which do you recommend? I had Helibar risers on my K1300S and they provided 2" up and back, and they did not require the installation of additional brake or clutch line extensions.

Thanks!

Pierre

I think there may be a few other threads in this topic but yes the Helibar risers fist the RS perfectly, I installed them a few months back and very happy with the look and extra comfort of the offset.

Just in process of installing the Voigt bar risers up and back. Borderline on the need for an extension.

Those look exactly the same as the Hornigs, which I have. I added the clutch line extension for what it's worth. It was easy to do.

Yes, looked the same as the Hornigs. Just ordered the extension, can a complete amateur do that easy enough?

I had both the Ilium Works and Wunderlich risers. The former brought the bars up an inch, the Wunderlich’s brought them up and back. No need to make any adjustments to the cables. I can offer both for sale if you’re interested. I ended up converting to the Wunderlich handlebar setup, now it’s almost like an RT.

Hi Pockomoth,

Just messaged you.

Thanks to all for your quick replies and suggestions - really appreciate it! I will look at those options.

Hi all,

Just to let you know the outcome - I went with Heli Bars and really happy with the end result; very comfortable and noticeably improved upright riding position. Bought directly from Heli Bars, crazy fast delivery, my local motorrad dealer did the install as the bike was in for first service - no additional line extensions were required, can do full locks - seamless install and look. I definitely recommend this solution if you're looking to move up and back with ease of install + quality parts.

I just fitted these risers from Aliexpress.

they fitted fine needed no extensions to the cables/hoses and only cost £32 shipped. The threads were a little tight but they are a great option to see if bar risers are for you

I'm having a big problem after putting in my Helibars, I've loosened some slack on the braided clutch line, but I'm still struggling when engaging first and the bike is still creeping in 1st when I have the clutch fully pulled in...any thoughts?

Yes, sounds unrelated to the installation of bar risers. I installed up and back Voigt risers, and the cable was on the limit, but clutch still worked. (Installed a line extension adaptor anyway). Maybe something happened as you loosened the line.

Maybe air in the clutch line?

Thanks all, I tried the cable tie trick on the clutch lever last night and it does seem to be a bit better today, will give it a proper try on the weekend..
