Thruxton Raising Bars On Faired Rs

Yes they fit, I had the fairing with the taller risers on mine. I think there is a clearance issue with the brake fluid reservoir on the non R/RS but that wont be a problem on yours.

 

Apex 3" adjustable did the trick for me, no need for new cables. 3 axis adjustments.. https://www.apexmfg.com/all-products/apex-clip-ons/apex-3-riser-clip-on-set

 

I thought the difference was significant! I started with the high ones, then went to low when I put the fairing on. Didn't take long before I switched back to the high ones.

 

I had the low bars from new. Really liked the look and feel but got numb hands on long journeys. I stuck it for just under 2 years and put the standard risers back on. I think there is a big difference.

 

Its not difficult, a little fiddly when the handle bars are laying loose. You need to be careful not to scratch the top yolk or the top nut, you'll likely have to buy a socket too for the top nut. I wrapped a layer of insulating tape round the top nut to avoid marking it. An hour would do it.

 

Headlight and fairing can stay in place, I think I left the clocks attached to the yolk and let the whole lot sit on the headlight with a cloth underneath.

 

I knew I had a picture somewhere! 1 low and 1 high riser for comparison. You can see the clocks still attached to the yolk complete with tape to avoid scratches

 

You'll need a 38mm socket or spanner. Its easily marked as it's made of alloy so wrap a layer of tape round it first.

 

If you don't have a pair of circlip pliers it might be worth getting some! It will make life easier when it comes to sliding the handlebar out of the riser as there is a circlip on the end or the bar. They have a habit of springing across the room if your not careful.

 

Mine is not faired. I would normally do something like this myself but just asked the dealer to do it, can't remember the charge but it was nothing like 2 hours. Guess 2 hours is because of the fairing.
