Small change â astonishing effect: In this way even longer tours will be a pleasure. The facts: 25 mm height increase. Improved handling. More immediate feel for the ride. Relaxed upright sitting position. More mobility. Individually machined of solid aluminium (not cast). Anodised. Quick and easy conversion - no further changes required. Complete with set of bolts. German Type approval. For the R models a raised handlebar is a particularly sensible investment, as the options for handlebar angle increase at the same time which in turn has a positive effect on rider posture. The bars are raised by 25 mm and brought slightly towards the rider. This riser has allowed every R rider who has tried it to find a completely personal setting. German Type approval.
