  • Hello brethren,
    I'm a new member from the Delhi Chapter so first of all, Hello to all and everyone in the IBR family across India.
    My VERY first query to this fantastic think-tank of bikers here is about Handlebar risers on Interceptor 650. Has anyone installed a handlebar riser on a Interceptor? Any feedback of installation ease/difficulty and usage? Been eyeing this one from Zana (link below) .
    I've heard clutch wire needs to be changed? Don't know how true is that.
    Any advice/wisdom/suggestions are welcome Thanks for reading and Godspeed everyone 🙏

  • Though I personally haven't tried it, I know a few folks who got it done without getting the cables changed. Its justa few inches lift and the existing cable length is enough to componsate extra length.

    In general, risers do make hell lot of difference as it improves your overall sitting posture a bit upright hence less stress to lower back. Maneuverability also improves.

    Go for it and come back with your review for others' benefit.

  • I and Srinivas sir are using Carbon Racing ones. They perform admirably without any riding concerns. As for installation, it simply entails rerouting the throttle and clutch cables from beneath the tank; there's no need to replace the clutch cable.

  • Hi Prashant, As we spoke on the call i have been using this raisers from past 3 years. I am using 2 different raisers of 1 inch and 2 inch raiser. So overall it makes 3 inch and i have not changed any cables as rachit mentioned just a re routing of cables is only required. Will show you on sunday meet. Just experience the comfort of riding with raiser feel like you are riding the Himalayan.

    @sajeesh thank for the advice bro. Finally decided to not get handle risers. Done 1500 kms on the new bike and stock handle feels good enough so thought why bother the factory setting so to say 🙂

  • Me! HDT customs or Carbon racing! Both are good. No alteration required on any cable.

  • Update: got Carbon Racing straight risers and loving every bit of it. I did try the slant ones but they didn't do it for me. Thanks for your advice brethren.

    Hello Everyone! Khama Ghani Recently in our chapter attempt leg 1 which is approx of 1650 Kms, me and @ankush1044 have used Bluarmor C30 and here's user experience : Connectivity : Not faced any issue while in range over ridegrid intercom to intercom. Though claimed range of 1.2 Kms (LOS) is still questionable. It worked flawlessly in the range of 800-900 Mtrs I suggest. Not faced a single issue of disconnection in bluetooth connectivity during the whole trip (used for 4 days). Audio quality: Not used many but I think bluarmor is providing exceptional audio quality at this price point. Voice is clear and loud even at the high speed. (it may differ with Helmet, I'm using it with LS2 Storm). Music playback is also above satisfactory, considering it as a budget device. Highs and Mids are clear while Bass fades with higher speed. Ergonomics: Buttons placement in circular way is good thought as it will help rider with identification during gloves on, but functional arrangement of Volume up & down through left and right button, and call merging function with double press of up button is something let down. Also buttons are hard to press and placement is too cramped, identifying and pressing specially double press during rides with gloves on is a challenge. Battery life: Full day of ride intercom + bluetooth connected with phone, answering calls and music playback has only consumed 40% of battery. Always left with battery around 60 to 65% at the end of the day. Thus you can use it for two full day in single charge and throw everything on it. Inter connectivity with other Bluarmor devices: As I already posted in chapter run thread, We rode with @kcna and @the.h.maverick from Indore to Sawai Madhopur. While Anand Sir has C50 and Sapan C30, All three are connected over private ridegrid connection. There were one or two occasional drop in ridegrid connectivity when answering call, which restored automatically. Overall, I'm fully satisfied with the device. Full marks in Audio quality, distinction in Connectivity and features while grace marks in usability due to button placement and feel.

    @satty I'm also thinking probably best to play it safe now. Will just go with OEM parts itself. Not worth losing warranty over I feel. Or atleast, not worth losing it immediately after purchase.
