Fitting Bar Riser's To Any Bike UNDER £20 | Honda NC750x / CB500X/F/CBR/REBEL
Honda bar risers are aftermarket accessories designed to raise the handlebars on Honda motorcycles, providing a more comfortable riding position for the rider. These risers are typically made from durable materials such as aluminum or steel and are available in various heights and designs to suit different preferences and bike models.
By installing bar risers, riders can achieve a more upright riding position, which can help reduce strain on the wrists, shoulders, and back. This is particularly beneficial for riders who experience discomfort or fatigue during long rides or for those who prefer a more relaxed riding posture.
Bar risers can be purchased from motorcycle accessory stores or online retailers that specialize in motorcycle parts and accessories. When purchasing bar risers, it's essential to ensure that they are compatible with your specific Honda motorcycle model, as different bikes may have different handlebar mounting systems.
Installation of bar risers typically involves removing the existing handlebar clamps and replacing them with the risers. It's important to follow the manufacturer's instructions or consult a professional if you are unsure about the installation process.
Remember that modifying your motorcycle's handlebars can affect its handling characteristics, so it's important to consider your riding style and preferences before making any changes. Additionally, it's always recommended to consult with experienced riders or motorcycle mechanics for advice on selecting the right bar risers for your Honda motorcycle.
New bar risers for my Honda NC750x but this is quite generic across other models and brands too.
Just an inch higher and back does make a good difference on handling and comfort.

Installed the exact same today. BEST mod i bought to this bike! Fantastic!
Keep up the good work. 💯
Thanks mate. More mods coming up! 👍🍻
what tightening pressure do the screws need? Thanks.
Common sense pressure, there is no torque settings supplied with the product. I would advise consulting the service manual to optain the correct torque settings if in doubt 👍
Use the German way.... Good'n'tight@@williampeiper292
Hiya, well after 3 years I have finally got around to fitting the bar risers as you suggested, I came across your video last night which reminded me I hadn't done it yet. I had thought mi bike wasn't too bad other than giving me aching hands after an hour or so of riding. I got my risers this afternoon and followed your instructions and like you, I didn't have to do anything to the cables other than give them a gentle tug to make the free play longer. I went out for a ride soon as I had finished and I was amazed, for £20 it's like you bought me a new bike, what a difference, my hand ache has completely gone and I am so much more comfortable and therefore happier, I'm sure the bike feels just right, you know that feeling when it just feels right and good, well I have that feeling now. It's weird it feels much happier tipping into corners at speed and I'm much happier doing maneuvers as well now. Did you ever take your bolts out and use Locktight? I didn't use it in case I wanted to change back but like you, there is no way I would do that now, I also used my old Hnnda top plate as I reckon it looks better than those Allen bolts, do you think that will be OK ?. Thanks again mate.
?
Nice one Paul,
I couldn't be without mine now. Others have found the cables too tight, but again it hasn't caused me any issues either....No going back here.
I never did locktight them but so far they have remind tight and no issues.
Glad you got on OK with it. Other NC users say mine feels much better than standard bars. Cheers
I too had shoulder pain while riding my stock 2019 NC750. I added the one inch up and back bar risers and it made a very positive difference. The shoulders are good for all day rides and I feel control is much better as well; I can counter steer and corner much easier. I could never go back!
Me neither😉👍🍻
Good job mate, comfort is the aim and you seem to have achieved that.
Definately Pete. She seat is the best comfort thing I've done but this is close behind. Thanks for watching👍📺🍻
Been pondering over this mod for months,. NC750s dct. Now i think im going for it... thanks chap.
Go for it! You wont regret it
The ergo's are spot on keep the risers as comfort is everything.
Too true! My bike is slowly getting to where I want it to be 👍🍻
Well explained, awesome job. Thank you for posting.
Cheers mate👍🍻
Thanks for your videos. Just installed a riser from LSL 25mm/up, 17mm/back . Instructions mention a 25Nm / 18.4lbf ft of tightening torque. On my NC750X DCT from 2015, I had to pull the cables a little, I am still not very comfortable with front brake cable that is resisting adjustment, seems to have glue on turret attachment. Still work in progress :-)
Hi, yes I had to pull and slacken the cables too. It was still quite tight but acceptable. The difference is worth it : )
Happier now to do that myself,seems to be exactly what iI need,thanks.
Good news Tom. Yes it's easy but some people have said the cables get tight. Hopfully it will be OK for you as it was for me👌🍻
Great job! I am glad it all turned out well for you. I was thinking about getting handle bar risers for my Honda cb500f, as i have fairly short arms and feel like i am riding a sports bike. Only problem is that i only got my bike a couple days ago and i would be scared to tamper around on a brand new bike. Definetly would be good to have though 👍.
The F I think is a brilliant bike, but congrats and enjoy👍
Looks good mate and the main point is if it cures your problem with your shoulders then it has to be a success.👍👍
Yeap your right 👍🍻
I fitted the exact same ones on my 2019 nc750 and found they made the bike easier to handle as you show doing your figure of 8's. The only difference to you my front brake pipe is held in a rubber grommet and was a struggle to raise a bit because it had been glued into it from manufacturer and i also fitted the original bolts back in the top which i think look better than the alan key bolts supplied, enjoyed the vid keep them coming.
Good point John. I think I may put the bolts back in . I didnt even think of that TBH. Good one thanks
I struggle with sore shoulders myself, especially on longer rides. I have fitted Voigt offset bar risers. A-B-S-O-L-U-T-E-L-Y spot on! Apart from a good seat, this is the best investment for my NC750X!! Cheers!
Good news, yes it's in my top 3 favourite NC mods👍🍻
I have the 2012 nc700s and I found the cables were too tight and I flipped the risers forward and it's works well and much more comfortable.
Great video, thanks! I was unable to get the part shipped to Sweden so I got the Sw-Motech bar back (LEH.00.039.21000/B) for my NC750S DCT 2015 instead. Unfortunately, it turned out to be a complete waste of time trying to make it fit. The wiring harness from the light/horn switches only stretches about 10 mm... Have to return it today.
Ahh total bummer mate
Hi mate, I've put bar risers on my v strom made a load of difference, a lot better. just a note to anyone whose going to fit risers you don't always need a lot of lift my risers are only 30mm which is spot on for me. Ride safe from Kirton. ...
Hi Rich, I was out Kirton today, and working at Sandford soon. Your right mate, 30 mm is all that's needed really. Hope we will meet one day. Say hello👋👍🍻📺
Great job
Thanks Ken 👍😊
Great looking bike !
It sure is!
Been thinking about doing this everytime I ride my NC when after about 20 minutes I get the shoulder burn of doom but after watching different videos saying that the brake cables need re-routing I decide not to do it. Your video looks like it's a simple job so i'm going to take the plunge and do it. Thanks for the inspiration
I would advise it mate. It cost under 20quid for these and is worth every penny. I have a little tug on my cables and there was enough there. Buy the ones in my link and I get 10p (I get paid so well doing this) but at no cost to you if that's ok👍🍻could you let me know how you get on with it too please 👍🍺👌🙏
@@exeterrider Will do
I tried today and the cables aren't long enough.
Purrrfect says Theo the cat!
😅Thanks theo🐈
I did not have them on my last NC but they were on my new one - I had not noticed when buying it - felt better straight away, but I never had an issue on the non raised bike - one of those small improvements not really needed but welcome
Exactly mate agreed.
Hi, I fitted these to myNT 700 Deauville last year, very good, clutch cable a bit snug, but ok, I hope that this helps anyone wanting to do the same. Cheers. 😎🏍
Thanks Christine 👍
looks good.
Thanks Graham. It's grown on me now😄
I have installed those before on other bikes, the V-strom, but on the 2020 NC I wondered if the front brake line is long enough. It doesn't look too long with the stock bars in the stock clamps. It looks like with risers it would be a tight fit
Hi ER I put Rox risers on my 750x really helped with comfort plus with these risers there are more options of positions. Took me some time to adapt to the change. So live with it for awhile and you will get used to it 😁
Hi Wobbly - Shortly after turning the camera off I thought to myself "what am I on about " ha! im really pleased with them. Thanks for watching
For ABS DCT 750X model, here is a way to make sure the cables have slack should anyone wonder it: ua-cam.com/video/V7PAlsjnfxI/v-deo.html
Thanks for another one.
Did you make a film of the seat mod?
Yes 2, but I see you have found that one now 😊👍
When torquing a bolt without the proper t-wrench always thigthen to 1/4 turn before snapping the head off ().
Waiting for the Voigt offset ones to arrive, 30mm up and 21mm back to go on my 2008 NT700V.
Current riding postion is not that bad, but I hope it will improve/relax a bit after fitting them. Time will tell !
I found out made a huge difference 👍🍻
I added the same risers I like them keeps me from bending over to reach the bars
Yeap that's it Chris much nicer isn't it 👍🍻
Haha, a cuppa tea makes an appearance in a vid of mine coming on Sunday. Us Brits and our tea eh!
Mod looks fine. Just wondering if your hit by more wind now as you must be more upright?
These NC’s are growing on me 👍🏼
Yea I'm not the type to add cream teas to it and cause a civil war between counties like some , but I thought it would be good to add. 😉😂🍻Na not getting any more wind, well at the top part of my body anyway.
Pah 🤣 brilliant!
Great video and nice bit of kit. Wonder if I need those?
Hi mate, every little helps. 👍🍻
@@exeterrider Hello fella... It certainly does.
Nice job, I've just saw the difference on the handlebar after you've mounted the risers, the 'bar it's closer to you and the gap between the dashboard it's higher. Still a cheap and comfortable solution. Did you had problems with cables length? Greetings!
Hi, not really it all went in well, I pulled the slack up from the cables but it's actully not to bad at all.. As long as you pull up what you can then it's fine. Thanks for watching how your well 👍🍻
I usually have to do stuff like this to my bikes. It is my no 1 irritation about bike manufacturers, their one size fits all attitude. If I buy a car - the cheapest car on the market, it will certainly have a seat that adjusts, probably adjustable steering wheel too. I can even adjust it on the go. But bikes, even very expensive ones offer little or no adjustment to handlebars or seat position. It can't be beyond their wit.
Been thinking of bar risers just watching you now have you tried it at Motorway speeds 👍
Yes and feels fine. I have a throttle lock too which works well.
Looks great, I am gonna do the same, by the way, I like your mirrors. If you could share it's link. Thanks
I have no link, but I bought them on ebay.
hi, nice video. Will installing bar risers bring the handle bar closer to the rider, as per the handle bar of a rebel seems to be too far from me.
Hi yes mine did by 25mm, yes the rebel is a bit far away I agree.
Hi,
Can I ask did you have any issues with the brake pipe?i have a dct also and have read that the brake may not be long enough and that you have to reroute which I don't fancy.i have just fitted new sw motech peg which lower them they have made a big difference for me.by the way like the look of yours now with the risers.i just need to sort my seat out.good vlogs keep em coming.
No I had enough of slack even on full lock both ways. Maybe it differs from bike to bike?! Thanks for watching .I appreciate your time watching my videos.
For ABS DCT 750NC model, here is a away to make sure the cables have slack: ua-cam.com/video/V7PAlsjnfxI/v-deo.html
Did you end up using loftite on the bolts and thread or did it work well torqued down how you had it originally? Just wondering if it’s necessary to add some loctite to the bolts.
I havent found the need to loctite the bolts down no. : )
Interesting. Could you do that on say clip-on bars like a SV650X? just to raise it a little for comfort
Hi Gary, I don't think it would work on clip ons without a bit of engineering involved.
@@exeterrider Yeah, thought so too... cheers!
@@garyk8285 Anytime bud.
Looks good to me! Let us know how you get on! best wishes KB
Thank's Kev, Yes I am happy with it now. I was just having a moment it seems lol
@@exeterrider did you have to undo any cable ties to get cables slack ? cheers kb
Hi, no I didn't. I gave quite a hard pull on each cable to pull any slack I could gain but that was all I had to do.
Ive had this question a few times now so I've knocked up a quick video. it will be up in a hour or so.
@@kevinbufton7118 ua-cam.com/video/MzRs5GMSLzM/v-deo.html
Not sure if it's doable on a Cb500f, BTW what video setting is your Gopro here? As it is a bit shaky.
It's a ghost drift which explains that. Apparently it is doable on the f with some loosining of the cables
Do you have the link to the risers you purchased. You said you’d put up the link but I can’t see it. Cheers
Hi , Click on the description and it moves down and reveals link - here it is

Thanks for watching.
I have exact same bike and the only problem I have is I cant adjust back due to cable length very frustrating
Some people have that issue and some don't. It's quite strange. Sorry to hear your having issues😕
What did you do about the break line? Mine is so short I had to move the break lever/unit in on the handle bar.
Mine was OK, had to pull a little slack on the cables but I got away with it
@@exeterrider i just watched another video where the abs models have a shorter line so you have to reroute the line behind the triple tree instead of in front of.
@@joshuachristensen865 OK, mines abs and didn't have to do that. Guess I was lucky perhaps 🍀👍
I've been pondering if bar risers will help with my numb fingers on my right hand?
Also have you noticed a difference with wind buffeting now your seated more upright?
Wind buffeting feels the same as before and I think the vibes will be the same aswell👍
Sir this is probably a dumb question but did yours mount with only two screws? I have the same ones and for the life of me can’t figure out if there is something I missed! I mounted the two in the back that go into the bike mount, but there is no other way to mount these. I have two bolts left over
Hello sir, well maybe yours is slightly different but as long as it works and is strong and safe then just roll with it I say. But no, I don't think I had 2 screws left over.
@@exeterrider so we’re there two bolts that went into the actual riser before you put the bars in, and then 4 bolts into the cover
i, would thay fit a suzuki bandit 1250
They do make them for the 1200
That's cool. I may purchase one. U still own the bike?
Yes I do. Very handy and makes for a better ride for sure.
Nice. Well worth doing.
Alignment? Have a nice cup of tea and a lie down and the aggravation will pass 🙂
Thanks mate, yes it passed 10minutes after the video. Just the suspension now, when the kids are off the tele I can watch someone I'm subscribed do his thing 😉👍, alignment? I must have missed that. Off and on job isn't it? or am I missing something?. Jane you lifted yours?
exeter rider - at 3:19 “it doesn’t line up properly” = my alignment comment 😁
Ahh got ya, yes it's 3mm thinner each side of the risers so I just centred it up and had to leave it as is. Shame really they couldn't mould it 6mm bigger.
Hey pal, so how are you getting on with the bar risers now? Thanks
Hi Sandy, just the same mate. Nothing to report. I wouldn't go back to the way it was that's for sure 👍
@@exeterrider im fitting mine tomorrow on the nc750s. Ooh i must mention i was under bigmac before thanks.
@@sandy2483 ahh bigmac me ole mate, lol yes that's confused things lol I'll have to try and remember the new name. Hope your well mate.
@@exeterrider i had to change it as delivers were coming to the door as bigmac lol.
@@sandy2483 😂👍
Are you still liking your risers? I just ordered them. Hope I have enough slack
Yes I am. Yes I hope you have enough too. Most do some don't. Just pull up whatever you can gain 👍
After you installed the risers with the short screws did you use the stock screws to put the top plate in or the screws that came with the risers?
Can't remember now tbh, but pretty sure I used the originals
How did you get away with not doing something with the cables and hoses? I tried to put these on my bike today and wouldn't fit. The brake and clutch cables are too short. It's an ABS bike.
Did you use the same ones as I did? I needed to pull a bit of slack but mine and many others had fitted fine with no issues?
@@exeterrider yes the same as you. I tried to pull them through but maybe I wasn't trying hard enough.
@@exeterrider Mine are 50mm so that's were the problem might lay, also I tend to tip the bars back a little.
ua-cam.com/video/MzRs5GMSLzM/v-deo.html
Ahh yes mate. I would say that's too high. The ones I used are the max tbh.
Give it a few weeks, it looks strange because it looks different to what you're used to.
Where can i buy?
Link was in description , but here it is amzn.to/2MKMIWV
“I’ve always suffered with my shoulders, it’ my Achilles heel”……..You really do need to visit your GP! 🤔😂
🤭 ha , no its just a matter that I work in construction and do a lot of lifting. My body likes to keep moving TBH.
Just think about the math you are adjusting. Your bike is like a large lever, the bars are your force, the center of gravity is your load and the tire contact patch is your fulcrum. You just moved your hands about 50mm up and closer to yourself, giving yourself more control of the end of that lever. Like putting longer handles on a wheelbarrow. You are also now straight up and not leaning, so your strength is focused on the control of that lever.
Quit worrying about the looks and concentrate on controlling the bike. Road survival trumps looks any day of the week. How good did you look when you went down on that icy patch a few months back?
I thought I looked really good on the ice 😂❄️yes about 10 minutes after the video I knew I made the right decision. I had alot on my head that day and trying to get a video out aswell my mind started playing tricks on me. It had a much nicer feel now. Thanks for watching the video 🍻👍📺
Yes you are moaning about nothing, it looks no different, if it's more comfortable and feels good keep it as is.
Yeap, I'm glad I done it now. Much better for my shoulders. Thanks for watching.
Added 20mm SW-MOtech Barr risers to my NC750X which means I sit slightly more upright - however found the seat better as well as my posture is different than without the bar risers.
That's how I find it too Mark. A little more weight on my lower back.
