hey does anyone know how big of a bar riser I could put on a 2004 yamaha sx viper s without having to get throttle and brake extentions? I want to put a 4inch but didn't know if anyone knew if that would require them. I know undo the bolts and see how much room you have but I figured this might be easier haha, thanks.
2 maybe 2 1/2 inches. I put on a 3 1/2 and had to extend the Throttle/oil cable. If you loosen the brake line bolt on the caliper and twist the brake line it will be ok.
I raised mine 3" and need to reroute the cables. Any more I think would be too much for stock cables. Mine have little free play from end-to-end steering.

I put a 2" block with a powermadd pivot (total 3 1/4") on my 02 viper. Just had to move the cables around a bit but that is about as high as you can go without extensions.
There must be at least five of these riser threads going right now 
The 04 Viper S has a single cable(at the throtle block) split into two(to the carbs and oil pump), which I believe is different then older model Vipers. This may be the reason why you can go higher with the older Vipers without extensions.

No but you will have to move em around a bit, any longer get extentions. I run 2" on mine and its fine.

thanks super1c!
If you get the throttle/oil pump cable from an 04 or 05 mtn viper, they are longer and you can use the 4 inch riser. I have one on my srx with a 4' pivot riser and a 1' block riser underneath it. The brake hose is also longer, I have one which I couldn't use on mine because it had banjo fittings on both ends and my srx has a banjo on one end and a fitting on the other. Pm me if you are interested in buying it.
