    Just wondering is anyone has fitted handlebar risers to their 2018/19 Speed Triple.
    interested in what size you used, where you got them, issues with cable length (doesn't seem to be a lot of slack available) or any other useful info or pics you might have.

    Not a lot available here in Oz, found the below that look like they should fit, but don't specify the Speedy....

    I fitted the SW Motech risers to my Street and liked the added height, but I don’t see anything specific to our bikes yet. I’ll probably do the same to the RS at some point.

    I fitted some 20mm spacers, I had left over from when I raised my Busa bars, to my RS, cost about £5 originally :)

    Was going to swap them for some proper risers at some point but, as it would be a purely cosmetic change and cost a fair bit, didn't bother.

    Did you have any issues with getting enough slack out of the cables when you fitted the 20mm spacers to your RS?

    Nope no problem that I remember.
    You will need longer bolts as well though.

    i will be fitting spacers in march had some made 20 and 25 mm with longer bolts will report back after my winter trundle in the south of spain. fitted rizoma ones to my 2016/18 speed r and they helped but thought that the bar clamp was too nice to get rid of on the rs. im hoping the 25 mm ones will be ok regarding clutch/brake lines.

    Made some 30 mm when I had a 16 speedy s and found that to be the limit for the cables etc

    Thanks Rocker.
    Not sure on if there are any differences re cable mounting/length/routing etc etc from the 16 to the 19 but I'll find out soon & report back.

    Pro Taper fat bars, sorry to hijack the post but if you are reading this then maybe one of my fellow triplets may have fitted Pro taper fat bars, if so has it been of benefit

    Hi Steve RS, please will you let me know which SW Motech risers you fitted to your street. I have a 2018 street triple RS and I am looking to raise the bars a little.

    I just refitted the 30mm ones that came in my bike. Been about a year so thought I would give them a try to see which I prefer.
