fesstedetris They weren't cheap....$117 delivered. They are German made and made well. I think a set of bars would be cheaper but you would have to remove all controlls etc...just time that's all.

have any of you swapped out bars, if so what did you get and why?
Thanks in advance,

I'm having the rox risers installed as we speak. I will give a full report.

I get a stiff lower back after 30 minutes of riding

No adjustments to the cables. They are a "bit" tighter with these riser/bar backs. It was not a problem.

Good luck....it did make a bit differrence in comfort.

I've got near 26,000 miles and am wondering about valve adj. Anyone out there have any comments. I don't beat the snot out of it....I'm 60 years old...I've had more birthdays then I'm going to have.

Stay well,

Mainefz Hey, I'm glad it worked out for you. It's hard to imagine that 1 inch up and 1 inch back will make the riding so much better. Just remember, when you have to remove the battery (tank comes up), you have to remove all of the risers since the tank won't clear the bars. No big deal - just takes time. I always put an old jacket or towel over the tank in case I drop something or do something stupid and scratch/dent the tank. That would piss me off.

Where are you from anyway?

Stay safe and stay well,

IndianBikes I also set up the up and again risers. It was the best inclusion I have ever created to my motorcycle. There is no stress at all on my arms.. what a joy to trip now. I don't experience any losing management either.

jamesjohn012 I think change the bars once and it is very simple to do... The information provided was useful one...
