Handlebar Risers for 2022 Svartpilen 401

[Peter]

This is a re-post to my trying the wrong size Handlebar Risers on my 22 Svart 401.

I now have the correct size on the bike with the benefits I'd hoped for....a more upright ride by moving the bars back just a bit and raising them. And, better handling off road when standing on the pegs.

I had to use 3-4 different tools (you'll figure it out exact sizes): Various size, Allen Wrenches, Open End Wrenches and/or pliers. No major skills needed. Just tight the nuts/bolts snug.
NOTE: put a towel over the speedometer to rest the bars whenn adding the riser. Took about 30 minutes to install and a test ride to adjust the position of the bars and the brake/clutch handles.

Here's the link for the correct bars. Shop around for different year(s): https://roxspeedfx.com/products/1-3-4-pivoting-handlebar-risers-for-26mm-handleba

Props to Rox Speed for answering the phone, talking me through my error AND sending the correct set without an additional charge after I returned the wrong set.
They're great to work with and would recommend this company.

I bought the same risers but don't seem to have enough cable length. I have a 2021 model and cables are routed similar to yours. Any tips you did to make them fit? The cables are just the right length for the stock bars.

Wayne, Have you snipped the plastic ties that hold the cables to the frame? follow the lines down the frame to find them. And, I moved (only slightly) the handle grips for the clutch & brakes down to give a little more length. Originally, when i used the wrong size riser (that was taller) it was seriously pulling on the cables. Although the correct riser is not as tall, it still made the cables taught, but did not impinge on their useflness of safe use for braking and clutch. Yes, it's tight on my bike, but still OK to use. I hope this helps. Please let me know. Safe travels.

Hi Peter, love the tail bag you have. What is the brand and model of the bag? Looking for similar one quite a long time.

Looks similar to the bag I recently bought - a Nelson Rigg. Pretty happy with it, the only tricky bit is getting the straps to fit well under the seat (not much space under there around the fuses): https://nelsonrigg.com.au/product/commuter-mini-tail-seat-bag-x-small-cl-1060-m/
