Raise handle bars?

[nudedaytona]

Any one know how to raise the handle bars on an Aprilia RS250?

I know this is probably already covered somewhere but any help would be appreciated.

Give the clutch a flick while opening the throttle all the way. That should raise em some.

Why do you want to raise the handlebars? would that not be against the whole way of lying on your SPORT BIKE?

you can probably get some clipons with a raise in them.
There is a brand called thomasalli (spelling is bad) that retail for around $220 available in nz

Great idea. Which gear should I be in - 1st or second?

F1 engineering? in Hamilton I think do adjustable bars as well, might be worth a look otherwise it sounds like a cut & reweld job to me.

That might be an issue come WOF time.

You can buy clip ons with tapered adjusters that essentially raise the bars. I've done this on my 500 so the clamps sit below the top clamp but the bars are level with top of clamp.

Sorry can't remember brand, may be Tomaselli, but a bikeshop should have distributor's info, probably from Eurobike.

bit like this but bigger

Otherwise F1 engineering do a great job.
