Rox Risers

[allanbegg]

Being a shorter rider, I found that on longer distance rides, my shoulder starts to ache.
I believe that it's due to reaching too far forward to the handlbar, so I'm looking at risers.

Anyone tried the Rox Pivoting Handlebar Risers on an Interstate?

It appears this would give me a lot of position options, as long as the cables are long enough to work with them.

I'd appreciate any and all feedback.

Thanks, Allan

I have 1 1/2" riser extensions on my IS and the cables/wires are almost too short.  I am not sure that 2" will work without major modifications.

I considered those, but reconsidered after considering the space between the fairing and the tank. Potential for possible tank or fairing interference and might be too many possible moving parts.

To keep it simple and give me the ability to raise the bars up and out, I got the ones in the link below.  I only installed the larger spacer and that was perfect in height and placement between fairing and tank.  And, because it only deals with the top clamp/bar bolts it was easy to install by myself.  Might not be the prettiest but you don't really see the risers.  And it's about a third the price you have on that other one.

PAVALKER,

The link you provided took me to 1 1/8" Risers.
Is that the size on the Valkyrie Interstate?
I made the assumption that they were 1".

Good point. I'm guessing that 1 - 1 1/2" should work fine.

Thanks, Allan

Allen,

You are correct.  I may have selected the wrong one to show what I got, but it is thst style in 1 in.

Ordered the BikeMaster (1" Dia   ) version this morning as that appears to give me plenty of options for amount of pullback/rise. Also at a reasonable price point. Even found them in a "silver" color, which appears to be more of a natural machined aluminum finish.

Thanks for the input, all.
