BMW K1300s Bar risers

[anonymous-user]

Has anyone found a UK source of a kit to raise the bars up and back just a little. 30mm would do. Everything I search seems to be the USA.

Thanks

You can't really get bar risers as such for the k, heli bars work, I changed the whole bridge to the k13r one, a lot lot better for me,

EU rather than UK, but may still be of interest:

It may also be worth tackling it from "the other end" and trying a lowered seat. Lowering your backside will reduce the load on wrists, arms and shoulders.

Best riser kit is by the BMW experts, AC Schnitzer.

Not cheap, but ACS quality is superb and guaranteed to fit/work and be TUV approved. I had their ACS1 levers on my old K13SHP and they were of superlative quality.

Buy cheap, buy twice. Not worth compromising on the touch points with a bike, imho.

I have the same issue with my k1300s, and i'm considering buying a used set of k1300r bars and yoke usually on sale for about 150 200 quid ebay, apparently they switch straight over! ill let all know the out come

I don't know the details, but my mate has got a k12 and his has got a handlebar conversion on it. I haven't got a road bike but last year he had a CBR600rr as well as his k12 so I borrowed the cbr and went out with him one day and after a couple of hours my wrists were hurting, so I swapped onto his k12 and the body position was closer to what I'm used on my ktm enduro bike. Felt more like I was putting weight on my arse rather than my wrists.
