Gen II handlebar rise

sledboy127 · Nov 11, 2008

Im looking to raise my bars on my sled. Right now its got a homeade 2 inch riser. Im thinking about talking the block out then installing some old style rev bars or some m-cat bars.

Has anyone had a problem with electrical wiring not reaching with a high handlebar?

I know im gonna need a brake and throttle cable.

My 99's just got a straight 2" riser on it ...

Go do a search in the Polaris forum for an "Ole Riser" if I remember right ...

Ther'es a guy that makes em tall for the Gen II's that have a 45 degree bend in them if I remember right.

I think anything more than 2" you'd have to extend cables ...

Do you mean i will have to extend my electrical wiring. for my hand/thumb warms ect.

riser

"USUALLY" you can go 3 inches w/o splicing wire....Its the throttle and brake that will probably need extended. Sometimes you can bend the steel part of brake line to get extra length needed. Def look for a riser that will tilt forward or is angled or you wont care for bar positioning.

I'm running 4 on my Gen II and with creative work I didn't need to extend the brake or throttle. I did however have splice the wires.

Course now it's awful weak looking.

3" Is about max and any more than that you would need brake and throttle lines. Check out our angled risers and pivoting risers.

I run the stock 99 brake line with a 8" fly riser and no troubles. Throttle and electrical will need to be lengthened but its not really that big a deal.

I have 4 inch block on my 2000 rmk, had no problem with wiring, but i know when it reach up to 5 or 6 inch, you will need cut and add the wires.

i figure im gonna take out the 2 inch and throw in a 4 inch riser, i'll have to buy a brake and throttle cable but i think i should be able to undo some zipties and not have to slice the wires.

Did you have to do throttle and brake cable?

You reenforce that steering post at all?

maddog21 · Nov 12, 2008

yeah i do the brake and throttle cables. i bought them from RSI

sledboy127 · Nov 12, 2008

If i have to buy a throttle cable i think im gonna buy a longer cable instead of pissing around with a extension.

nope, i've ran that wms post for five years trouble free. I'm running the stock brake line with this set up as well.
