Not to be a hijacker but...
What is the most you can raise the bars on a TLS, without interfering with the fairing?

This is with MX style bars (Rizoma) - requires fairing chop of course.
Rizoma fat bars plus risers; also requires new clutch cable & brake lines.
Used stock GSXR top triple drilled for risers (would work equally well on TLS Top Triple)
Love the riding position and control from this change.

From what i can see it depends on your brakefluid reservoir. Its the first thing to touch windscreen
