@@CodgerBiker Good Morning I like to sit more upright. Just a week with a New DCT. What is the Torque setting for the handlebars. Could have saved the postage by buying at SportBike Shop oh well too late.
I used 28nm (which I believe is Africa Twin spec) but you should check for yourself. Also make absolutely certain cables, especially brake lines, are not stretched. Bike tolerances vary. Mine is a manual.
Hello, thank you for your video! So, if I understood correctly, you used a 20 mm booster and you were able to install it without touching the cables. How do you feel after installation? Have you encountered any problems?
Good question. 2 things. 1) mine is manual bike I cannot speak for DCT. In fact it is the clutch cable which seems to limit riser on my bike. 20mm is limit. 2) your bike might have slightly different cable fitment so you'd have to judge it yourself, especially brake lines. Noting the above, in my case, all has been fine. 20mm is not much. It was just enough for me.. I hope that helps. But you must check on each individual bike. 👍👍
@CodgerBiker A thousand thanks for your reply. It gave me an overview. Indeed, I have the DCT version. In your video, the cables are stretched in the same way as in my home. Except there's no clutch. The rest is the same. I just placed an order with these 20 mm. Hopefully it will work. In any case, thank you very much, your video allowed me to decide and upgrade my bike.
I received the bar risers last week. I gave my dealership them with the R&G radiator cover. Unfortunately they said there’s not much cable but before I stepped in he said I’ve fitted the radiator cover for free. You a anywhere near Essex London???Free Fosters 36 cans.
Sorry, NW. But there is likely some variation in setups. If dealer not happy then I'd leave them. Not worth the risk of losing front brake, worst case scenario.
@@CodgerBiker I bet you and DrJ spent half of your morning arguing whether you should hold your cup in the left hand and biscuit in the right, or vice versa 🤦🏻♂️😂
Dots to top, the clamps should be finger tight and NO gap at the front where dots are. Torque front first then rear. There's a dap of paint on a center punch mark on the bars to the left of the top yoke mounting this should be next to corner of mounting for correctly aligning middle and rotation of bars. The clutch cable will rub by ignition after a couple of thousand miles but doesn't seem to bend it. I also found that bar end fitted Bark Busters fitted perfect with this set up
hi thanks for posting this vid. its not the clutch cable you need to worry about but the ruber brake line that i found streched and if that goes you will loose all your brake fuid!!
You've Sold It To Me. Ordering Now. New Rider from London
Thanks for watching. As I always say, don't copy me. I'm just trying to improve my bike to suit me. Good luck! 👍

So it is true then. Honda riders aren't manly enough to drink coffee 😉
Tea and Shandy only! 😉👍😂

Yes I checked it after your previous comment. All seems ok at 20mm. But, of course, there's no guarantees. 👍
what torque did you use?
I went with 28nm. Which I think is Africa Twin setting. But don’t quote me on this. 👍
@@CodgerBiker дякую! (Thanks)
