I've been scanning posts regarding these bars and I think I'm going to try them. I have a few questions regarding these. Do they come in different diameters, and if so, which ones will I need for my 13 S10? Also was thinking of adding a set of Rox Risers. Will I still be able to use stock cables/lines with this combo? Thanks in advance for any input guys!

ProTaper Contour range of handle bars are 1-1/18in bars mounts.
the Raptor is model in the Contour range.
Super Tenere's need wide bars
Raptor bars 813mm wide

If you are just adding the Raptor bars then cables should be OK - read up on how to release the Brake side.
If you are thinking Raptor bars and Rox 2" raisers I am pretty sure you will need longer clutch and brake lines.

Just the bars or just the risers, your lines should be OK. With both you'll need at least longer hydraulics. You'll be at just over three inches taller with both mods.The diameters of the Raptor are made for the fatty set up we have, 1 1/8 at the clamps, 7/8 at the grips. Pre '14 end weights need a wedge of some sort for the end weight bolts to thread into. The post '14 end weights need the bars themselves to be tapped for a 16mm x something... 1.75? 2.00? so the end weights can be threaded directly into the bars. Great set up, risers and bars.
