ROX RISERS

[CPJS]

Someone recommended these to me as i struggle with slow manouvers, (short female) does it really help?

For me they are essential. I am 5'6" and on the standard bar fitment I am straight armed, as steering a bike requires counter steering it means pushing with the shoulders and having to lean forward to do so, this uncomfortable (shoulder ache) and not relaxing.
Fitting the 40mm up and back riser puts a bend at the elbow and allows turning the bars using just arm movement and not having to twist the whole torso although slow hairpins and parking still has me stretching at full lock.
Like others I put the brake lines and cables outside the 'fork leg' and have almost too much brake line.

I bought the ilium works bar back to get the banjo extension so I could fit my Rox Pivoting risers, lol.

On both my 13 & 15 the brake cable is tight, I am not a fan of re-routing the brake line.

Be aware also that some of your elec cables can pull and just slightly dislodge the elec connectors in the switch blocks causing intermittent operation of the switches.

You can of course bring the clutch side inboard a little but then when you operate the clutch you flick the high beam switch.
