Looking to get a good handlebar riser 2 inches roughly . Im 5'4 so I don't need a 6incher that's for sure. First time ordering one up so wondering if anyone has some good suggestions. Would I need cable extensions also with just a 2inch?
Handle Bar risers for 2018 Pro 800 RMK "163

I just went to the local polaris dealer and got one -made by Polaris- it fit's great and reasonable priced,, No additional cables and I have the higher bars,
Wait...You’re 5’4”? You should be wanting to lower the bars not raise them. I’m 6’ and my bar setup is -3” from stock and probably should be -4”.
I was thinking the same. I’m under 6’ but did u notice a big diff with lowering urs?
At 5'4", a riser is going to create "ape hangers", even when standing..... and loss of blood in your arms when sitting during the trail ride to and from the good stuff. The more you read, the more you watch, you will see the best riders run lower bars for a lower center of gravity. Yes, low is good. [Bend at the knees and keep the back straight).
I'm 5'6" and run the Polaris 5" low bars,. sled came with the 7". What bars do you have on now?
Going for the ape hanger look
I think this whole thread is hook line and sinker.
Raising up your bars is completely wrong. You need to bring them forward as far as possible. Tip them all the way, just before touching the instrument gauge. Don't worry, the flat rotation of the bars won't hit your gauge. The grips need to be as close to vertically aligned with your spindles as possible.
After that, if you do need to raise them up, just pick up some extra long lag bolts and nuts at your local hardware store and raise up the whole clamping block.
