Wunderlich bar riser question

Post by Widetrack »

Hi everyone,
I just received a set of Wunderlich bar risers for my 07 R12R and am wondering if there is any problem with the clutch and brake lines when installing the risers. Anyone have them and can comment?

Thanks,

The first thing I did in 2007 to my R1200R was bar risers. No problem with cables. There is every so slight pull on one of them at full lock. How often do you use full lock? Big improvement for me. I can't tolerate any weight on my wrists anymore, so a more upright seating position is critical for me. Good luck.

Wonderlich tells you on the item listing of their website which bar risers need longer cables and lines. Usually a kit comes with it. I bet you will have no problems.

I use full lock every day, and I ride every day in situations where I want my brakes working - see my thread about Touratech barbacks over at viewtopic.php?f=20&t=30179. Slight pull on brake lines isn't an acceptable risk for me - brakes are probably the critical component on a motorcycle.
