OK, the fox risers have arrived, Just bolted them on and they feel great. I thought about putting fat bars on, but when comparing rise height, sweep and overall width, I decided to go with the Renthal 6" trials bars rather than fat bars.
Before.. Height
After Height
This gives me 55mm rise (just over 2") ride position is now great. well worth the money, and they aren't that noticeable.
It should be possible to machine off the existing mounts, leaving flat areas for new upper and lower clamp halves (and spacer blocks) with bolts going right through and nuts underneath. Ive seen this done on a few twinshocks other than TL250s
Alternatively you can get bars custom made with a higher rise than 6" Renthals.
Yes, machining down was what I was thinking of doing, but it's kind of irreversible, and suspected it may upset someone.. but will be going that way if I can't find a better solution.
I have a 75 TL 250, I've put some renthal 6" rise trials bar on the bike, but I'm 6.2 and find then bars still 2 low.. I'm thinking out putting some bar risers on, but the TL mounts don't come straight up from the bridge, so if I use bar risers I won't get much lift it will just push the bar closer to the rear of the bike.. Can I use a bridge from another bike, mod the standard ones ?
New to this forum and trials riding, done plenty of off trail and road roaring over then years, but this is my first trials bike, just purchaced a honda TL250. Going to give twinshock trials ago.
