I ride my Exciter more standing up than sitting down and have found that after longer rides my back pays the next day. I also slip off off the running boards more than I'd like. The machine came with raised bars and a homeade handlebars/post one piece "t". I or others before me have bent the post slightly and they don't come up to what I would condsider ideal height. Some ideas I've had to help these issues.
I found these and am wondering if anyone has experience with them?

Also I think I should replace the steering before I'm left stranded somewhere. I would have a comfortable reach of my grips if they were 2-4 inches higher than they sit currently. I like the idea of using Powermadd stuff since it's a MN Company. Does anyone know if their adapter bolts up to the four hole post Yamaha Exciters have. Or if RSI's adapter would pair with a Powermadd adjustable pivoting riser? I see RSI sells a cable that is +8". If that's so, would it make sense to account for the 1"-1.5" that various adapters add as well as compensate for a specific bend (such as a aluminum tapered bar by RSI w/ backcountry bed and 3" rise) and get a riser assembly that is somewhere in the 2-4" range and hope is all reaches and works? I don't get responses when I post tech ?'s with RSI.
Here's what I'm working with:
I probably wouldn't replace the bars but my speedo doesn't work, the tach is not right, the hand warmers and slippery grip/warmer in ones that don't work, the current post/bars are bent and a bit light duty for me at 210 lbs.
If I can keep the factory fairing like bluepsylo did with his Exciter I would. Similar to his I hope to install a Digitron data logger unit that show RPMs and temps. Here's his:
Im looking at this, seems like enough. Anybody use them? Opinions?

I put VMAX XT struts on mine and with the C&A BX ski's it's about two inches in higher @ front number than from when I bought the sled. I'd like more lift and see that the long travel Bender kit did his well but I suppose it's a long shot that they still sell them.
I know this isn't so much a mountain sled but I thought I'd post here since you guys are probably the ones doing more projects like this. Here's mine:
