1200 Handlebar Height, How Much?

Discussion in 'Monster' started by Yoozy, Dec 30, 2019.

  1. Lads, how high can the bars lift on a 1200? I know theirs loads of options to do it, it’s the height I’m after, ie the slack on the cables etc.
    I’ve gammy shoulders and been offered a bike at a very decent price, but theirs no point if it’ll ruin me.
    I have lifted the bars on me Mutley so you know what your dealing with.
     

  2. If I get the time mucker, I'll do somat wae a bunch of washers and longer bolts to see how much the bar can rise waeoot needing longer hoses.

    Thing is though yer not going to know if you'll be ok with whatever height you raise until you try it.

    Ya Fud.

  5. 2EFE31A9-EC38-4821-8F74-7C09104BB296.jpeg Just took a shot of mine, doesn’t look as though there’s much slack to allow higher bars, maybe you could free a bit more further down the pipes/looms but I doubt you’ll get much.

  6. I'd say that the nature of the monster is it's a semi sports bike position... if you lift the bars you're still going to have a lot more weight on your shoulders and you will on the Multi because your foot and bum position are different too.

    Probably worth trying to secure a couple of hours test ride to see how you go on.
     
  7. @Yoozy If it is cheap enough then maybe just buy it, you can always sell it if it is not comfortable.
    I had a 1200 Monster and found it extremely comfortable, good enough to ride for several hours without any pain and I`m in my mid 50`s with plenty of sports injury aches & pains. The seats on these are adjustable so the low setting will be helpful as in effect it makes the bars higher and I think a low seat option is available too.

  8. Cheers boys. The Rox stuff is good, but fuuuugly. Impending house purchase might have spoiled this now.
