Has anyone tried raising their handlebars? I'm not too sure there is enough slack in all the lines to do it, but maybe I'm incorrect. I'd like to see about 1" up and about the same back, just to relieve some pressure on my arms.
Thanks!

Pretty sure you will need longer cables.

There is almost not enough room to go to a standard width handlebar let alone raise them up.

I put 1" riser/bar backs from Twisted Throttle on my 2015 Gsx s750Z. When you remove the bars, move them back towards the tank; not forward. Put the risers on and move the bars on them. It's tight but it works. Just 1" up and back make a big difference. Good Luck...it can be done.

The standard bar is such garbage though if you add the risers there is no room left for aftermarket bars. I finally found a set of bars that works. I got the Pro Taper contour series in the Carmichael style. I used the pro taper Barclays because your going from 7/8" to 1 1/8" bar size. The pro taper clamps do move the bars up about 1/4-1/2" and back 1/2". Just to do that I had to reroute all my cables and wires on the handlebars and they barely are long enough.

Does anyone have PN#'s or links for any of these?

I saw quite a few but nothing indicating it was for the Suzuki. Thanks!

I bought some "ROX" bar risers & brought bars back. Cables fit but need to remove bracket on front brake line to get enough slack. Works great & better seating position.

I was also looking at some from Twisted Throttle, I want to just run stock bars but get them back a bit farther. Travelling for a month long ride this June and would like to be able to do this.

the stock bars are absolute garbage, the amount of vibration that went away when i replaced mine was unbelievable, just gotta find a pair that raise up and tilt back, there is a million to choose from.

Which ones did you with? I was told to go to the Renthal site by a local mc shop and it would show me ones with different rakes and angles that would work with the bike, but I saw nothing specifically for the 2015 gsx-s750. Maybe it's it's my seating position but I feel like my hands are jammed into the grips . I like the bike like a woman loves high heel shoes that don't fit. I'd like to ride it more than just around the local area. I think if I went on a several hr with the way it now looks I wouldn't do the return trip

I have not had a reason to change my bars. Do you ride sitting up or leaning forward. Also, riding gear to right on your arms, is your helmet heavy, how tight do you grip the bars, and how tall are you, do you ride with gloves? I do know that you can raise and change the bars easily, but may need to loosen the throttle cables. Just trying to see if it's something else, that's all.

Helmet is on the heavy side. I tend to ride forward although I do try and sit up by squeezing the gas tank with my legs. I wear gloves. I ordered cushion slip on grips. I have adjusted the handlebars in different positions. I'm going to try and find bars with a different rake. It just feels as though my hands are jammed into the grip. I like the bike, just want to make it more comfortable for longer rides

I'm 5' 10" 240. I also where gloves, but not riding gloves. Cornwell work gloves. I normally ride up at the tank and in an upright position. I don't run into the same issue as you, but everybody is different. The only time I feel like my hands are pressed into the grips, is when my better half is on the back. Wish you the best of luck in your search, wish I could help more.
