I've read all the threads about risers/barback risers and various Renthal bars but haven't seen anything about changing out the stock bars for Renthal 756-01 bars. If I'm reading the Renthal application chart correctly, those bars have a rise of 105mm. The stock bars measure about 60mm rise I think, anybody know for sure? That would give approx. 45mm (i.e. 1 3/4 in.) additional rise. If I'm correct and the 756-01 bars will work, I'm thinking that is a better solution to raising the bars than bar risers and keeping the stock steel bars. It would be achieving a 1 3/4 in. bar raise and upgrading the bar to reduce vibrations at the same time. Anybody done this with these bars? Am I on the right track or am I missing something?

You might have to lengthen a few things, cable, wire, line, or reroute them.
Marty had put atv bars on his at one point, not sure which models they were. Perhaps send him a PM to find out

Still have my Renthal 787.
Thanks guys. Yes I know Marthy did the 787's. Actually I just noticed that the rise on the 787's is 105mm which is the same as the 756's! Marthy, I know you didn' have to change any cables etc., but can you confirm that the 787's gave you about 2" additional rise? Also, did you choose the 787's for any particular reason over the 756's or other models. The 787's seem very similar to the 756's just a little wider (easy to cut down to prefered specific length) and a little less sweep/pullback.
ya befor i got my apex i was thinking about putting some Protaper 4wheeler bars on haha!!!!

I did the 755 (Medium) and if they were any higher I would have had to reroute or lengthen things.
Lets us know how you did it Martin without rerouting or lengthening.

I went to 1 1/8" thick longhorn bar and everything is stretched to the limit. In fact the throttle will stick at full right. Fortunately I don't have the throttle on when my steering is at full-lock.
You can see my bars here:

Well that's interesting! How did you deal with the control modules that fit 7/8" bars?
Sure I did post some pics of my bar in the past... ah well.
I had to reroute the throttle cables behind the handlebar, the clutch cable, the brake line on the RH side to get extra length and get all the extra slack from the wires too. Nothing goes through the little bracket over the ignition switch...
That's a pic with 1" riser installed (trying them as soon as I get my sprocket... )
and sorry about the upside down pic....lol

Yep! Not sure if I'm going to keep the riser yet. I tried them before and giving them another shot now...

Yeah I thought there was some serious rerouting going on there.
Man do you like lay back now? Definitely would be in a upright position.
Sometimes I wish I had gotten the high instead of the medium, sometimes.

LOL I don't think this is going to be a keeper. Just want to try one more time... I think it would have been nice for my 4K round trip last month. Never tough about installing them or at least stuff them in the bags...
But I really like the 787 position for everyday riding.
