Raising the handlebars on a 2022 Duke 390
Hi Folks;
I'm waiting for that pesky BC snow to melt. I thought I'd install a handlebar riser to bide my time....
I ordered a nifty-looking (see photo below) set of inserts which according to the vendor would fit a 2019 Duke 390. I presumed they would also fit a 2022 edition. They don't: they are a smidgeon too wide. Oh well: after trying to get them to fit, I think a spacer below my bar clamps is better. As you likely know, a spacer below the bar clamps will lift my instrument panel, which I prefer.
Are there any 2 cm under-bar-clamps spacer kits w/longer bolts out there?
And, yes, I'm waiting for a call back from my local shop as well, as they are presently stumped as to how to achieve this....
Thank you in advance -- Matt

I had some of those types ( Tusk 1-1/8" bars at 15mm rise) and they didn't work. I bought a couple 3/4" steel spacers and inserts at the local hardware store. The OEM bolts are fine thread, so I had to order longer ones on ebay from China, as even Fastenal couldn't get them. I was lazy and just wrapped them with electrical tape. For a $16 project, it turned out good. Doing it this way also raises up the display. Not much cable slack for anything longer. Nice improvement. For reference, I am 6'3" with a 36" inseam.

Here's what I used:
1.) 1/2" ID
1" OD
1/2" thick machine bushing
2.) 3/8" ID
1/2" OD
1" long steel spacer (cut it in half for two pieces.
The bolt is a M10 for reference. Everything slides together snugly.

Cool. Thanks for sharing.
I was thinking of doing the inner sleeve thing too. But I just ordered two 1/2" and two 1/4" aluminum spacers as shown in the photo. The 1/4" thick version is solid, not hourglass. Total lift will be 3/4" or 19mm Hopefully this will work! Not cheap to get this stuff in Canada....

If you only need a short rise, I put these on my 2016 (but in standard, non-rise config).

With the M10-1.50 bolt being 12.9 tensile versus the OEM M10-1.25 being 8.8 tensile, I think I'll be OK. I also added split ring lock washers with the locknuts
