RE: INSTALLED: Rox Pivoting Riser 2" rise x 7/8 stem clamp x 7/8 " handlebar
I was out on the bike all day and that 2" rise has me even more comfortable then I was. Seems I am able to turn my head and body easier for situational awareness. Opens up the cockpit and makes it easier to stand on the pegs or sit on the pillion to stretch the legs. As for the installation, let's just say that I was glad I didn't get the 51/2" pivoting risers. The cables are 'almost' maxed. Putting the bike on the center stand and turning the bars all the way to either side while it is running reveals no alteration in rpm. Clutch and brake are great as usual. The tricky part of the installation is the sequence of snugging and tightenning the four allen bolts of the base stem and the four allen bolts of the Rox handlebar stem. Because the cables don't give you much to work with you can't just sequentially tighten up the base and handlebar stem without over stretching the cables. You need to snug some bolts allowing the strcture to kind of callapse on itself while you tighten others. Sorry, best I can explain it. Next to my K&H low seat, this mod has been a game changer for me. BTW...the next time I have my head lamp off I think I can re-route some of those cables more effeciently.
