Up and back Bar Risers

[Fat Rat]

I'm really starting to enjoy the Ginger Glee (2013 V-Strom DL650 for the search engines benefit), especially since getting all the various bits fitted/sorted. Now I have done a few hundred miles I have order the peg lowering kit and now I'm looking at Bar Rises. On the Tiger I have up and back risers, are they available for the Glee and has anyone fitted them?

Mitch on here got some sw motech risers bout 20mm if I recall, they are just up but sorted the back bit by just tilting the bars back slightly. He'll be along with more info soon I'm sure

My research is returning conflicting information, some say that the brake line is a show stopper and some say it isn't

a modest rise (1") and minimum back should not require a brake line change. It will require some rerouting or removal from the clamp.
I have Rox risers, 1 1/2" up and about the same back. I needed a new brake line.
Others have used Rox risers without changing the brake line. I do not think they went back as far or at the same angle I did.
To me. the benefit of having the bars just where I want/need to be comfy was worth the cost and aggravation of dealing with the brake line.

20mm rise seems the safe bet without any other modification. I think someone on here actually tried a 30mm rise ( not sure which year of bike), this might just be possible but would leave things extremely tight. I chickened out and played safe. I'm 6 ft 4 and although they are only 20mm they do stop the shoulders from rounding too much and aching.

I took a punt and ordered the SW Motech 30mm Risers, 10 minutes to fit and no issues with tight cables or lines
