I need handlebar riser for my 2019 Himalayan

How high can I rise the handlebar of my 2019 Himalayan before I have issues with the cables and the wires?
Are Rox Risers 2" to much?

Might be and the bolt centres are probably wrong too and would need a bit cleaning out with a file.
Hitchcocks do a up and back kit which is just about as far as you can go, at least on my 17 bike, maybe compare with Rox..
 
5’11” with tall seat from Seat Concepts installed. The Hitchcocks up and back maxed out the cables leaving only a slight bit of slack. Barely enough for peace of mind (had to adjust the brake cable securing tie wraps to make it work). Better option in my opinion. I also purchased the straight vertical risers and decided to not install them. Not sure the brake cable would have been long enough for those.

I'm on a Scram but I found the 2" Rox Risers perfect. I'm pretty sure that if I went any higher I'd need to adjust cabling, but the 2" length was no problem for the Scram.

Oftentimes, what's good for the goose is good for the gander in Himi vs. Scram discussions, but with the way the shrouds are set up differently this may not be the case here, so YMMV. While I won't say it's EASY (the bolts holding the handlebars are insanely tight), I will say it's POSSIBLE to remove the bolts and just see how far you can pull the bars away from the bike before the cabling goes tight. This was what I did to make myself comfortable that the 2" Rox Risers would fit before I bought them.

The 2" risers made a big difference for me, well worth the effort.

I got my Rox Risers for a big discount because they were blemished (I never saw where). Keep checking as they come up from time to time.

That's what I wanted to know, would 2" risers cause any issues with the cables. (y):)

Thanks!

How big are the risers you bought?
Did you install them?
About 2". I had to do some rerouting on the front brake hose for more slack but it fits fine. I was able to move the bars back quite a bit. I also had to change the angle of the levers a little (which meant drilling new indexing holes) and now it feels 100% more comfortable.

Yeah, I myself could definitely use 2" risers, currently have 40MM (roughly 1 9/16") risers installed on my '22 Himalayan.

The 40MM seem to be just on the edge of maximum before clever rerouting/longer cables are needed. I was thinking of riser bars, too :unsure:

I did these on my Scram. Fit fine, no cable issues.
Those look like the 40MM I'm using right now, definitely works!

I thought I'd give the low buck riser method popular in India a try. Not bad way at all to add 20 odd mili-meters of rise at $18 bucks delivered. The next set of bars will dictate if it stays goes or gets swapped for something else.
