Planning on getting a higher/ longer steering stem for the Rappy 700
Thinking about +3 and maybe +1 forward
Due to being 6"3
Can anyone give me any feedback or suggestions

My suggestion is..... don't!
Better to leave the stocker in and get the ROX anti vibe risers and ROX riser block.
Really good adjustability, way more than with a taller stem.
If you flip the bike, usually all that happens is the ROX risers spin around and you just pull them back up and keep riding.
If you do stack it big time and bend the stem, a stocker is cheaper to replace than aftermarket, and the ROX stuff bolts straight up.

If
Your 6.3 i would Go bigger stem, dont know if you can go foward on a stem but definetly higher, lone star are my choice.
Other options are a cut and re weld by someone who knows what they are doing. Yes other options are bar risers but the extra leverage and height you would need would nake the stem bend easier in a roll over.
I reckon you would need a plus 2 stem and some 60mm risers
Luke beechey motorsports has all that stuff and he will be able to give you more advice

First thing i change on a bike is the stem i got a 2+ high 1+foward just look out for your brake & throttle lines might get a bit tight
Ive got a 660 steering stem if ya know if that fits in Perth its 2 plus high only does anyone know if it fits ??
Also stock are the same price these days specially if you got in on the high au$ plus there chrome not crappy mat black  |

The guys that have added height
Which control lines did you have to extend and at what height
Throttle, brake etc
and what gear did you use
Cheers

| On my 250 I only had to have extended brake lines (with a +2) but I needed them anyway because of wider A-Arms. I dunno about your bike though. |

You can take your stem to Road and race here in W.A. and there will plus 3 it for you for $150.ish and that a full new Chromoly stem , if thats any help ..(Road and Race are the people That most shops send stems to to get done then they put there bit on top)
