    Default handlebars question - anyone changed out bars to bring closer to rider?

    Has anyone changed out the handlebars on their ryker to bring them back closer to operator ? . I need about two inch's closer.
    thanks all

    I switched to the Ryker Cross Style bars. they are several inches wider and about a fist higher and a fist further back. Really improved my comfort.

    I added the 2" risers by Rox Speed to my Ryker Rally. I did tilt the risers back about 45 degrees also. Rox offers different sizes also. Don't go too long, the electrical harness is only so long. I unclipped the wiring from my handlebar.
    PRO: No drilling out new handlebars and converting everything over.
    CON: have to slide handlebar forward for fueling.

    Replaced stock with Renthall low road bars. Exactly the cruiser feel I was looking for, a little higher and 2-3 inches back.

    Be sure to de burr, eh.

    I highly recommend using a deburring tool for the holes. Just pop it in and the blade cleans any sharp stuff both inside and out. Especially important for wires, and a great investment for the shop at around $10 at most any big box hardware.

    Half a million miles, and I ain't dead yet.

    I drilled into the ProTaper bars I put on the wife's Ryker without issue. I also de-burred the holes.

    I added the Z-Bars. They bring the grips up and back. (I don't know why the pic is upside down. Can't get it to rotate)
