Since I'm quite tall (192 cm) I've successfully installed 5cm (2 inch) ROX bar riser that pivots along its axis giving plenty adjustment options. The cables are long enough and the bar is now really higher.

Just sharing :-)

I am looking at these risers now. Did you have to modify the brake line, throttle cable or wiring ?

They will be stretched tight indeed, depending on how you position the bars, but I've done a few thousand miles with mine with no issues.

I also installed them on my CB and they give me a better riding position.

Hello 1100rider,
Do you still have your rox risers installed?
How tight are the cables?
Thanks,
Dino

RE: ROX 5cm bar riser report
Installed my risers yesterday and went for a ride. Positive difference for me was drastic. No longer reaching out for handlebar and putting lots of weight on wrists. Really big improvement. Still messing with exact right position because there are so many options but very happy. They were very easy to install and brake lines are taught but fine.

RE: ROX 5cm bar riser report
Interesting. I tried fitting the 2" Rox risers this weekend and failed. The front brake line is particularly short. I could have pivoted the line a bit (loosen the bolt on the master cylinder and angled the line downward) but it did not appear that this would be sufficient.

Did you reroute cables or lines? I'm thinking about selling the risers if I can't get these to work.

I did not. There was just enough slack. Maybe tilt risers forward at first until you have everything in place and lightly screwed down and then pull them back to comfortable riding position prior to final tightening. Having a second set of hands assisting definitely helped.

RE: ROX 5cm bar riser report
Yep, did all that, had that (four hands). I measured the Rox's again and it seems they are 2 1/4" high. Maybe just a tad 'too much'. It's the front brake line that is the most noticeable problem. I did not loosen the bolt however, as it looked like it still would not be enough. May try again though, just to be sure.

Still working towards that 25 post count...
