I've raised mine about 1/2" with no trouble.
Maybe someone else will chime in for ya.

my 400ex had 3'' risers and was just fine

 

[coggonbrien]

sweet, i was hoping to get 3" out of it and i trailride/through corn/soybean fields so i need full travel for turning

i believe +1 and +1 1/2 have been done, but doubting + 3 will work without at least moving the cable splitter up, the bottoms seem to have enuf play to allow more for the top, if i remember correctly since going hydro on both blasty's

i had mine extended almost 2" with stock cables and such. but i couldnt bolt the splitter down.

i put atv high bend bars on and its fine. but too high doesnt feel confortable for me. i find it easier to control in the air with lower bars.

mine are 1" or a little more up with no problems

I just bought CR Hi bend bars and it solved that issue.

i have 1" raisers and i have no problem. im hearing anything over 2" wouldnt be good for raisers bc tere would be too much pressure on the bolts. unless u get a shee stem or mod the stock stem. theres a DIY on how to cut the bar and add a tubing with a little welding

i used another set of standard bar clamps, turned then upside down, put another set over the top and used longer bolts, also have the hi rise bars, much better! clamps give about 1" i polished the clamps up on a buffing wheel.

remember, the angle the steering column sits at...the higher you go, the closer you bring the bars towards you. so three inch will leave u sitting with with your elbows stabbing you into the guts when you turn

can someone hook us up with a link to a set of high rise bars? mines an 05

 

[Demo4o1]

@blaner, thats exactly what i did to mine. I:I

I have been trying to find a way to increase a blaster turning radius all week, is this the solution? If not, how does raising the bars benifit you? Thanks for the help.

 

[Demo4o1]

raising the bars isnt gonna increase ur turnings but itll give u better control of the bike depending on the rider. most taller guys do this mod. u can wheelie easier and when u stand while riding u really have better height with the bars so gives u better comfort. less fatigue at the end of a ride. its huge difference u should try it. get sum used handle bar clamps and stick them in there. need longer bolts tho. theres a DIY on it

elbows up!!!!!!!!!!!

 

[coggonbrien]

well made some 2.75" risers at work today, will try them tomorrow

 

[bagds101]

thats freaking awesome. how much to make me some?

 

[coggonbrien]

let me make sure it works before i say anything. probably won't make more than a nother pair since its at work.

did you take into account that the top clamps are not symmetrical? rather they have one side that is thicker than the other, they should only be fitted one way
