Default Looking for Higher bars

I'm looking to raise the handlebars up more on my 92 CBR 1000f. Got any just let me know. They need to be 41 mm.

My bike has Heli Bars on them and I know it lifts them a little. I found some that replaces the clip-ons with a straight bar. I MAY try them out. It's not TOO expensive at $260 for the kit. Honda CBR 1000 F 93-97 LSL Handlebar Riser Kit from SportbikeTrackGear.com

Maybe they have a kit for the earlier 1000F too.

Default Higher

Yeah I have read about Dan Moto but I think I'd prefer VFR bar if they will get me 2" or 3" inches higher. Any thoughts?

I chucked the VFR bars I had - you get 1/2' to 3/4 " at most

You need something in the "helibar" style such as Dm , HeliBar,
WoodCraft etc. for 41mm forks

These kinda caught my eye recently given the way they rotate

Default Bar info

Sprock,
Thanks for the VFR bar info. I didn't now they would only give you 3/4" of rise. How high can you raise the bars on a 91 CBR without interference from the fairing or the need to replace cables?

Thank you in advance for the information,
LDM

PM sent also

One thing to check also is Woodcraft, got two sets from Sportsbike Track Gear (stg) through eBay and have been really pleased with them. They come in different rises (measured from comparing a "zero" rise, NOT original bars) just measure your front shocks and order a compatible set, got a set for suzuki GSX-R for my Daytona, they`re universal, the shock dia. is the only factor. they`re not too expensive either. 1,5" rise set rised my 600f2 bars about half the dia. of the bars, that was the maximum that fit under the visor, didn`t have to change any of the cables and it made a HUGE difference!

EDIT: Oh, you already did measure. Well, 41mm risers, sil vouz plait

EDIT2:Ach, Sprock beat me to it with woodcraft...

No worries Mattson - everyone has differing experiences - issues with std riser bars
are generally interference from the front windshield instrument area when you make
tight turns.

The DanMoto ones I used let you bring the bars back behind the fork tube so as to
give better less restricted clearance.

Only thing about the DM's you need to upgrade the bolt hardware with the addition
of locknuts as well. I found the Alum to be soft enough that tightening clamp bolts
couldand did strip out on me - longer bolts with locknuts helped me out there giving
me confidence and a feeling of security to the whole installation.

The idea of a handlebar working loose at speed or in the twisty stuff was not very
appealing to me
