happy Halloween to all does anyone know what the best way to raise the bars on the 1988 1000 i raised them up but it takes it off the center pin or safety pin i suppose it is Can i just put a longer bolt in it to keep it center? or is there a better way thanks for the help

 

There are a number of ways you can raise the bars on a Hurricane - some guys buy bars from the old VFR750, which are about 1' higher, some use 'helibars' and some use others, name escapes me for the moment.....Italian made, as I recall....Tomaselli ?
There have been a number of posts on this issue - look up 'bar risers' and see if it helps you.
I wouldn't recommend removing the safety pins, although some guys have done it.

Hope this helps

 

thanks for all ur help shadow u have helped alot

 

i been looking on ebay for bars from a vfr750 do u know what years will work? and will vf500f work? i looked them on microfiche and the first 5 numbers r the same but the other numbers r different can u explain this to me please thanks

 

I'm sure there are guys who've done this mod who are much better qualified to comment, but if you take the size of the fork tube (stanchion) and compare it to the tube sizes on other bikes, you'll see what will fit.The early models had a 41mm tube I THINK, later ones 89 onwards were 42mm. Pacojoseph's done a mod, nice too, and so have a few others. You can look up www.mrcycles.com and insert whatever bike forks you want to check, bars etc, and it'll tell you part numbers and , I think, sizes. Look up Genmar bar risers - they make a lifting kit......
And a belated Halloween to you, too.......

 

Do you guys know what should be a height maximum permited? I'm thinking probably with out interfiering with the upper fairing and also making sure that all cables and hoses can take this extra stretch.
