BMW R1200RT/R1250RT Forum

New to the forum, looking at a 2016 r1200rt. Currently on a harley, used to have a k1600b. Looking to see if anyone has achieved 3 to 4 inch handlebar pull back? Assuming you would have to extend brake lines, etc. I have not seen any risers that provide enough pull back for me.

I am 5'6" and always feel like I am leaning forward which makes it uncomfortable on long rides. Same problem with the 1600b even with helibar and rox risers. The bike I am looking at already has the illium risers, but that does not come back far enough for me.

YOU MAY FIND THIS INTERESTING FOR HANDELBARS...

I'm not sure how to copy my reply to a prior question, but if you look about five posts up from yours, there's another handlebar question. I responded with a do it yourself modification you might find interesting, if not elegant, that it will give you your desired 5 to 6 inches of rearward movement. Let me know if the JPG attachment doesn't show up and I'll send you another pic.
