i have a 2000 indy 500 and i am wondering if its possible to put handlebar risers on it. would you have to remove the plastic covering to do that? how high could you go without needing throttle/brake extension? attach pictures if you have any.

I have the perfect solution for you...okay here is a low cost alternative to buying a new bar riser kit. what i did was take some left over oak baseboard and cut them all the same length, about 3-1/2'' you may want a solid chunk of oak blocking,and drill the holes through. here are some pics of my sled, and i have used this setup for over a year, with no problems. you also have to buy some threaded rod, because i couldnt find bolts long enough. My wife also made this 'scarf' to cover the gap between the sled and the bars!! it made a world of difference, this 3'' bar rise was amazing... cost: about $4.00

here are the pics of my cheap bar riser

That is a redneck way of doing it! Haha!

I'd rather be judged by 12 than carried by 6...

FREERSY

did you have to extend the throttle or brake cables with 3 inches? how tight are the cables?

redneck yes, but it cost only $4.00 and works just as well. And to respond to Freersy, no i did not have to extend the throttle and brake, they work perfect, as is... so the answer to your question is you can put a 3'' riser on your sled with no worries about throttle or brake line extensions.

no, no termites, well, not that i see, but this year i may just go and buy a proper riser for it, because i might be buying an '01 rmk 800, so i might as well do both

FREERSY

does anyone know if the cables are different lengths on the 500 xcsp, compared to the indy 500. i'm just making sure, its hard to return where i'm buying from

Im pretty sure they are exactly the same, as they have the exact body style, same hood, same bars, im sure they are the same

I also have a 2000 Indy 500 XC, I put a 3" riser on it a couple seasons ago,then to cover the gap, I took a piece of 4" plastic drain tile,cut it down the center, wrapped it around the base of the steering cover, and cut to fit the gap,then put a couple screws in it to hold it together. It almost looks factory, has held up for 2 years so far, and the 3" is perfect lift for most trail/ditch riding, and no mods to the cables was needed.
