This bike already had bar risers fitted to it so the clutch and throttle cables were most likely already extended or rerouted. I've just tried to fit a set of these exact same risers to my 2015 V Strom and the stock throttle and clutch cables in particular are just too short to make the distance even though I removed all the cable ties and clamps to give maximum length to the cables. The brake hydraulic hose should be long enough but the bolt on hose clamps need to be removed and discarded or modified. The electrical switching cables are a bit tight but will probably suffice if rerouted. You might get a bit more length on the cables if you remove the petrol tank and associated covers and rerouted both the clutch and throttle cables but what a job, not as easy as it looks.

Hi Robert, all the cables look stock, they only just reach. You would think they were all made the same but maybe not.
Great video...thank you! I have a 2015 Vstrom 650...can I assume these will fit my bike without extending cables? Thanks.
I cant say for your bike, mine is a 2011 series 2 with standard cables and it just made it. sorry for late reply.
Can you post a link where to buy this?

I did buy these off eBay, hope this link works. Cheers
Thanks for the link. One last question, did you say that you ended up getting longer bolts?
@@dudemup69 I think you should get all the bolts in the kit, for some reason I think the original ones on mine were changed with the other bar risers.
Cables are stock?
Everything is stock ,fitted easy
hello how many cm has changed ?
Sorry for the late reply, it looks like about 2cm back . The thickness of the bars.
They raised 30 mm
