With the stock fitment of the handlebar I always found
it to be adding a little strain on my wrists in city ride as well as on
highways. What I needed to do was raise the handlebar by say an inch or a half
to get a more comfortable riding posture for my wrists/hands. There are some
kits available for this you can order online and I didn't want to spend 3000
bucks just for this purpose.
Hence I visited Karol Bagh market and tried to ask
around some shops if they can do the job. Some guys wanted to fit a part from
Avenger to do this but it's height was too much for me. Hence from there I
moved to Jhandewalan. Here you can get all sort of modifications done on your
bikes at 1) Bittu/Sanju- 09350142811 and 2) Gullu Modifications- 097167 81272.
I reached Gullu's shop and asked if he can do it. I wanted the handlebars to be
raised just by an inch because for my riding style that is sufficient. Fitment
of cylindrical blocks explained through pictures here.
Any query about this modification do leave it in
comments and share it with someone you think wants to get this job done on
his/her Duke! Thanks for reading :)

ReplyDeletehow are you routing cables? I'm having serious difficulty with this and it seems near impossible.
ReplyDeleteUsing 1 inch spacers as well.
Hi. Thanks for dropping by! I didn't have any difficulty while routing the cables after using these spacers. The stock cables are little extra in length so they accommodate this increase in gap. If you want I can mail you the pictures so comment or mail me your email id :)
