xj600 51j riser

bought my self a old xj600 from 1987 but rly dont like the handelbar.
but cant find risers that fit ?
hope u can helt me out :roll:

 

yeah you will struggle to find any i couldnt.Beacause their seperate bars.
What you can do is buy universal risers and drill out existing holes. will need to flat off the mount because it has the serated teeth and new riser may not sit.
You can then fit a larger variety of bars from later diversion to mx style renthals.

Hope this is of use.

 

if you find a set of risers that fit well,could you update pls.im wanting to do the same mod to my xj.have tried air cooled rd ones,but they are too deep.
matie,is that norfolk uk? or usa?

 

I hope I can help you all here, I am doing a street fighter project on my 1985 FJ600, same as XJ, just US spec, I have very easily just replaced my top yoke with one from the YX 600 Radian , goes straight on , you will need a top you nut to make it look nice and if like me you got a top yoke with out the bolt on type bar risers you will have to search around for some as long as the bolt is 10mm dia and at least 50mm long you should be ok , I have just found some , should recv them soon , I will let you know how they fit etc,

 

unfortunately,the radian isnt very common over here in the uk.almost had a rear wheel for 1 tho,but by time i bought the brakes,sprocket cush drive etc etc,it was gunna cost me over £120!!! then postage was on top.keep looking on e bay,but no joy as yet.i guessed they are the same as xj yokes,except they have no serated section.hope yrs fit ok.

 

You could use an fz600 top yolk and just drill the mounting holes.

 

Where the bolt goes through the trees to hold the separate handlebars, you should be able to drill it to fit a set of xs 650 or xs 400 risers and then make a spacer so they tighten up, as they will be too long to tighten, there is a pic somewhere in my build thread of what this looks like.
