ROX 5cm bar riser report

[Nightengale_imp]

Definitely a no-go on the 2" or 2 1/4" Rox Risers (Standard 2014 model bike), so I sold them. The third install attempt included attempted adjustments of the front hydraulic brake line to optimize best angle and best routing. I don't know if my bike has a extra short front brake line or not - but there was absolutely no way these were going to work. It was easy to see that the front brake line would be seriously overstretched and the risers still weren't fully pivoted into the correct position, so I gave up.

Just got in some SW-Motech 1" up - 1" rearward riser inserts. Too cold and dark to try these out, but I expect them to fit, since they're used and came off of another CB1100 and they fit the previous owner. They have half of the rise as the Rox's I tried.

My goal is to improve the riding position. I want to have a more sit up then the stock lean forward position, which with stock bars, stock risers and my size torso / arms, the stock setup requires a forward reaching / leaning position.

The snow is still going to be on the ground so all I'll be able to do this winter is try these out in the garage and see how they feel.

Liking the Arrow by the way. Easy install, quality fit and finish, very nice sound, summer rides with it were definitely enjoyable.
