Was wondering whats the best way to raise the bars from stock to 3inch.. Are the cables long enough from stock.. I am 6feet tall and not sure which route to go..i notice in the mountains when i stand up to ride i have to lean downwards to the bars.. I was told to get them up.. Any suggestions.. Thanxs

yep, 4" Ole's angled riser and a new throtle cable.., reroute brake line
Replace the Steering Post with a T top
Put the pivot stlye rise on it.
Push teh handel bars toward the windshield about 2 inches besides the 3 inch rise.
It will feel like you raised the bars 6 inches.
and your body center will be much farther foward.

You can go 4" without changing cables and 3" with stock brake line.
At 6" I would go more than 3"
I am 5'4" and use 5" rise, with a T-top

I took a 2" rise off my 2002 and installed a 5" or 6", I am 6' 1" Great in the steep and deep. The 02's have a longer steering post than the newer escapes and edges. The tipped forward riser sounds like a good way to go. I would try and get one higher though. I installed a Power Mad throttle cable extension and bought a new SLP extended brade line. Was easy no issues with cable or throttle.
Now on mine I have the factory four bolt plate on the end of steering post. I put a piece of pipe that extends either side of clamp and my riser bolts on each side. I am very happy with how high they are, but with the riser bolted to either side of steering post when I put on handlebars the risers just catch the upward curl of the bars and can't get them tight enough that they won't move. The VE's has the shorter steering post but no clamp on end the post has a tee top (T). I read on here somewhere where somebody cut there 02 post off and welded a tee on. That is what I am going to do, and make it same length as VE's. Then I am going to get Rox FX Adjustable Riser. 6 to 9".

I just finished putting a 3" pivot riser on my '02 last night. You can not go any higher than that with the stock cables and brake line. I don't think you can go any higher than that without extending wires either.
I had to get VERY inventive on routing the brake line to get the 3" riser on there.
I'm 5'10" and it landed the bars exactly where I wanted them. I'll be riding it Thursday to see how it works.

Forgot about the wires, yep anything over 3-4 and you have to extend the wires.
Sledguy, I have 5" rise on mine with wider bars on the stock rerouted cable, just barely makes it though. Seems as mine is the black sheep though.

a 2" riser will fit no probs whatsoever. I'm 6' 4" and the height is almost right for the ditch bangin i do. i would however go with the 30 degree angled riser. it will lift it straight up from the post and it will feel more like you have a 3.5" rise. 10 min install
Yes for ditch bangin the 2" I had was good but in the steep and deep 4 or 5 Inch for sure you won't regrete it.
