Installation Steps
The following diagram illustrates the installation process for the handlebar risers:
Diagram Description: The diagram shows the original triple clamp of a BMW R1300GS. The original handlebar clamps are removed. The new Touratech handlebar risers are placed onto the triple clamp. Four M8 x 60 bolts are used to secure the risers to the triple clamp. The handlebar is then placed into the risers and secured with bolts (not explicitly shown but implied by the context of handlebar clamps). An indicator shows the 'Direction of travel'. A torque wrench symbol with 'Nm' indicates that the bolts should be tightened according to the manufacturer's specification. Measurements are shown indicating the rise and potential adjustment of the handlebar position.
Key Steps:
- Remove original handlebar clamps.
- Position the new Touratech handlebar risers onto the triple clamp.
- Secure the risers using the provided 4x M8 x 60 bolts, tightening to the specified torque.
- Place the handlebar into the risers.
- Ensure correct orientation and clearance.
- Check the 'Direction of travel' and adjust handlebar position as needed.
