Fit Kit for C3 Bar Risers
To accommodate 2023 KTMs without complicating the Bar Riser kits, the bolts/sleeves/adapter plates/nuts now have their own part number. Also, folks who already own risers but are changing bikes can get these parts on their own.
Why? C3 Powersports Bar Risers are direct bolt-on replacements for the OEM bar mounts on some bikes: KTM/Husky (excluding 2023-up MX/XC bikes), all 2021-up GASGAS, and most 2014-up Beta. But, the handlebar mounts on other models are "integrated bolt" or "bottom-threaded" style, so additional components are needed:
Required for all Honda, Yamaha, and Kawasaki, for example CRF450R, YZ450F, KX450, etc. When you remove the OEM bar clamps, the bolt is integrated with that part, so use these bolts with C3 risers. It's a specialty size & thread. You can reuse the OEM nuts
Required for 2023-up KTM and Husqvarna motocross/cross-country bikes, for example 450 SX-F, 450 XC-F, FC 450, FX 450, etc. NOT required for 2023 Enduro bikes (500 EXC, FE 501, etc). The OEM system where the bolt threads into the bottom of the bar clamps is incompatible with C3 risers, so you'll ditch that and use the adapter plates on the bottom of C3 risers (flat side up) and thread these bolts in from the top, using the nuts to secure
Fitment comment: as always, "Factory Edition" or "Rockstar Edition" models are one year ahead. Always use the parts for one year newer than the model year of your bike. Example, for 2022 KTM 450 SX-F Factory Edition, use the 2023 parts.
