I installed the 2" Rox risers so I could move the bars farther forward. It works and is a great upgrade. Especially on long trips where you want to lean just a touch forward instead of perfectly upright, and for enduro riding where you are standing for long periods of time. I routed the cables outside the fork tubes. I tried the zip tie in the side deal to secure the cables but it seemed like it made the cables tight again so I clipped the zip ties and nothing is securing them.
There doesn't seem to be any pinching or binding now but is this a bad thing to not have them secured? JimVonBaden , May 1, Any update on the anti-vibration feature? Have you had a chance to notice any difference? JimVonBaden , May 9, Clean likes this. Great post but some words of caution I installed the 2" risers on my 16GSA a several weeks ago.
I followed the same instructions and re-routed cables on both sides to the outside of the fork. It seemed somewhat tight but OK. After a few hundred miles I got throttle grip sensor errors and the bike went into limp-home mode about every 2 miles switching off ignition helped to restart. Not sure what to do miles from home , I cut the zip tie and pulled the connector from the throttle grip to see whether anything was loose or bent. To my surprise, the fragile connector doesn't really have a locking mechanism and came right off when pulling hard enough no, it wasn't loose.
I plugged it in and removed it a couple of times. After that, I had no issues for several miles. Ultimately, I have no idea what fixed it or whether it is permanently fixed verdict is still out. So, be careful that there is no tension on the throttle cable through the entire range of steering.
Just sayin'. Clean and nobody like this. Joined: Oct 26, Oddometer: 1, Location: Mazatlan. As always thanks Jim JimVonBaden likes this. I'd read everything on the site about installing them on my GSW. Here is what I encountered. After taking out the torx bolts I tried to lift off the clamps but I could not pull them straight off; they were 'stuck' to the bar. I had to push laterally to roll the clamp to one side, then back again, the rocking motion causing the ends to "walk up" the side of the bar until they finally became loose enough to take off.
I noted this, but did not give it much thought and proceeded with the installation. After the risers were installed and snugged-a-bit, I set the bars on the risers and the clamps on the bars. To adjust the angle of just the bars, you basically have to remove the bolts entirely, pry lose the clamps, re-position the bar, then reinstall the clamps.
I was running out of time, so took the Rox off and reverted to stock until I have more time to consider what I want to do. It is as if the two opposite ends of the open side of the clamp are just a hair narrower than the bar diameter. Anyone else experienced this?
I'm going to work on the edges of the clamps with something - probably start with some fine sandpaper - and see if there might be an edge along the inside of the clamp that I can bevel down or smooth off.
Barring that no pun intended , I'll get a friend to help me - I'll hold the bars where I want them and have him bolt down the clamps. But there seems to be no easy rotating of the bar by just loosening the top clamp bolts, sigh JimVonBaden , May 14, Do you mean push or pull harder on the ends of the bars to break them loose from the clamp?
Assuming of course that the risers are torqued down hard enough for them not to move. OK, I can go that route. If the problem clamps fit particularly tight on the bars is not uncommon, then I'll just mush on ahead. Call us at or email sales roxspeed.

Last Edit: December 03, , AM by sk8norcal. Aside from the better handlebar position when standing, I've noticed with 25mm straight risers that I'm sitting a little further back, where the seat is slightly wider.
