Has anyone used the ROX risers. They look like they would work well but in all the posts about risers I haven't seen them mentioned.

I've heard of them but don't know anyone using them, they would give you lots of options for positions, you also might need longer cables, lines, wiring.
You are basically adding a riser to your existing riser, I think most replace the stock riser and only have one riser off the triple tree.

I bet you could use them to solve any comfort problem you might have, but with
a 1500 Valkyrie there's a bunch of other "normal" or "chromeular" risers that
also easily work well...

I considered the Rox ones for my 1800 Valkyrie - a real problem bike for any riser/handlebar changeouts -
before I went the route I did...

I only want my bars slightly higher and about 1.5" back so the 2" riser would work. I dont think I would trust a longer riser installed on the factory riser.

I came pretty close to purchasing a set of the 2" ROX risers. I wasn't crazy about the way they looked so I finally landed on a set of 6" accutronix with a 3.5" pullback. Super nice risers and very comfortable now. But I did have to have new clutch and front brake cables made, as well as a new choke cable. That added to the expense a tad.... :uglystupid2:

Any chance you could provide a picture of those on the bike? It would be appreciated.

I researched these risers here quite a bit. Some pics here: http://www.valkyrieforum.com/bbs/index.php/topic,103168.0.html

           I apologize up front cuz I can't recollect Who I bought my Made In America 1" block risers from. Someone on our board but fuzzy memory!  :-X That 1" made ALL the difference in my comfort while riding and working the twistys. They-1" block risers-keep All the stock angles it just adds a silly little inch. And zero/none/nada modification to cables and hoses!  :cooldude: And this set of risers came Complete with the needed longer bolts for assembly. I iz a happy camper!  :roll: RIDE SAFE.
