Looking to get a good handlebar riser 2 inches roughly . Im 5'4 so I don't need a 6incher that's for sure. First time ordering one up so wondering if anyone has some good suggestions. Would I need cable extensions also with just a 2inch?:juggle:

RSI makes awesome risers that have the Polaris angle (30 degrees) so it doesn't change the steering.

Wait...You’re 5’4”? You should be wanting to lower the bars not raise them. I’m 6’ and my bar setup is -3” from stock and probably should be -4”.

I like Rsi ones, nice angle cut on them....put the bars where YOU like them best, however that being said favor the low side, instead of to high. i'm 6'6" and use +2"

At 5'4", a riser is going to create "ape hangers", even when standing..... and loss of blood in your arms when sitting during the trail ride to and from the good stuff. The more you read, the more you watch, you will see the best riders run lower bars for a lower center of gravity. Yes, low is good. [Bend at the knees and keep the back straight).

I am also 5'4" and am in the works of installing the 5" bars and ditching the 7" rise that came on the sled.

I think this whole thread is hook line and sinker.

Raising up your bars is completely wrong. You need to bring them forward as far as possible. Tip them all the way, just before touching the instrument gauge. Don't worry, the flat rotation of the bars won't hit your gauge. The grips need to be as close to vertically aligned with your spindles as possible.

After that, if you do need to raise them up, just pick up some extra long lag bolts and nuts at your local hardware store and raise up the whole clamping block.

Chris Burandt does it this way...
