Title: TA DA ROX
Post by Pine on 05/12/13 at 11:47:18

I installed the Rox handelbar risers, and though I ha ve only been around the block with them .. I really like the new handlebar position. Nothing crazy, I added the 2" risers in about 30degree tilt. This pulls them back and up. I have short legs but a long torso... so while I am 5' 7" tall, I was hunched over riding the savage. NOw that I am happy with the handlebar position, I can consider a wind screen.

I have a pair. You are correct- they put the bars exactly where you want them, and worked great with the broomstick bar I had on the bike.
They need to work on the cosmetics though- too "chunky" for my tastes. I now use one to re position the tach.

Actually, I asked in RSD and you gave them the thumbs up then.. that's when I decided to move on them.

First ride into work with the new risers...I really think I am gonna like this! The change in posture brought on by having the bars where they need to be in relation shoulders... is pretty awesome. Event he seat sits more comfortable now that I am not hunched over.

The bike now has a rather "odd" look to it. The tank looks too small, and the bars look too narrow. The bike has an overall less compact look to it, rather like 1970's "chopper" looking.

Well not this chopper looking!
