1989 pre-diversion handle bars mod question

Has anybody tried to mod or know how to mod the handle bars on this bike? I would like to raise the handle bars but have no idea if this can be done! Any help appreciated.

 

i assume its a european xj600?
if so its not easy as the bottom of the fixed 2 piece handlebars have a course serrated fixing.
the only way i can see, is to fit some universal handlebar raisers like this

then fit some one piece handlebars to the raisers.
you would need some deep "u" shaped bars to raise them more than the originals

you would also need to check the extra length needed on the cables , wiring and brake hose.

My bars are clip ons and. Need to get them high up but cannot find anything that will marry up to them . Been searching the web nowt there. Thank for help cheers mate. George

 

clip ons ?? on a 89??
so are they aftermarket ones, does the top yolk have mounting points on it .
some pic's would help

Its a European bike and the handlebars are fixed each side (2 piece assembly) into a serrated type bracket that locks each handlebar into position. Just checking if any one else out there had managed to find an alternative handlebar solution. Will post pics tomorrow. George

 

they're not clip ons as such, they are the standard fitting

if they're like this, then answer is as i said above

I'm thinking a couple longer bolts and a couple "pucks" cut from 1" marine grade plywood, or Polyurethane shock bushings.

( I want a 10,500 redline ! )

yep, suppose that could be a solution, but the serrations would have to bite into the spacer material quite a lot , other wise the bars would tend to spin on heavy braking ,or when maouvering bike.
i still think it could be a fix ,by fitting raisers and one piece bars.

sorry to wake an old thread, but ever find a solution to a 1 piece bar setup? I have a 2 piece setup just like this one.

appreciate any help,
thank you

 

so, your top yoke looks like this?





if so then maybe a couple of these may fit, there's 8 pages of them at - mandp accessories , in uk
