Handelbar riser for 99 RMK 700

Hey guys new member here, love the site and all of the info available from you guys. Does anyone know how tall of a handlebar riser I can put on my sled before I need to buy new cables. I'm not looking to go too crazy with the extension, just as much as possible for a little more comfortable ride. Sled is a 1999 RMK 700. Thanks

I think a 2" is about it without buying cables and splicing extra length into electrical. If you do go higher without extending cables make sure the throttle cable doesn't get tightened when you turn the handlebars all the way to one side. It can give you some unexpected power when you don't want it. :face-icon-small-sho

3" will fit. Any more and you will have to extend the throttle cable and brake line

Thanks for the replies. I've got a 3" riser on order now that I will try out and see if it makes a difference in ride-ability and comfort.

Your going to notice that the steering post is going to flex if you don't reinforce it. Slp sells a upper bushing. Help my sled out a bunch. Also you might have to extend the throttle cable. It'll be close with 3 inch. The brake line can be gently bent back to make work. Risers make a world of difference.
