Raising my handlebars?

[BePrepared]

what's the easiest way to bring my handlebars up by 3ish inches? I'd like a bit more upright riding postion, so lengthening them seems logical

These will bring the bar up 2"

These will bring the bars 1" up and 1" closer to you:

Quality metal, but yeah they're overpriced. I have the 1" up 1" back and I like them, because I have short, stumpy little arms. I wish they cost half what they do, though.

They are most definitely painfully overpriced
The only cheaper alternative I've found wasn't really recommended for road use:

Outlaw Racing Billet Universal Bar Risers

The do note that bolt holes are 35mm apart. On FZ6, they measure 38mm apart

How exactly would you do that on FZ6? Upper clamp has the cut outs for the bar to sit in. It doesn't use a bolt-on riser approach like some other bikes.
You can't just add spacers between that and upper clamp.

I have a 1 inch bar raiser, it a little better then the stock. they say That barbacks on the FZ6 make it feel different. I did notice that 1" made it feel a tiny bit different. but so worth it for long rides. Just wait & look around on the Forum, they sell them for like $40-$70 used on her better then paying retail.

Trust me I know they are overprice that's why I didn't by them new, I think $100+ is too much for piece of aluminum that is made can then one minute. its just another way of milking the cow

Yep Im waiting too1

These are the ones I just got. They raise up the bars by 1.2 inches. The risers are made of aluminum and are solid and sturdy. They work on my FZ6 perfectly!

I've used a similar set up before on my dez racing dirt bikes. Not the ideal set up but cheaper then getting a new upper clamp just to fit a set of Protapers. Trust me if it can handle offroad dez racing the FZ6 will be fine. The punishment offroad racing bikes go through is amazing. Never had any problems with this setup offroad at all. Not the cleanest but it works.
