isn't a bit up and a bit back how most risers work ? i still need to put a few more miles on my GT before i decide if stock is ok or not - hoping to do some of that today
I saw those, or some similar. I'd rather not get 7/8" - 1/1/8 with reducers back to 7/8, but if you say they work I'll get em.
What problem(s) will I have with my ABS??
If you look at where the brake line goes down to the yoke, the non ABS bikes just splits into 2 and goes directly to the calipers. The splitter is screwed to the yoke. I just uncrewed it and used the slack that will be needed if you raise the handlebar. I then zip tied the lines to the yoke since the splitter is now above where it used to screw in. The ABS version has another line running off the slitter which doesn't have slack.
I paid the huge ROX price when I got them for the ST. Worked well. There was a post on the forum by someone in Northern Europe that explained how to route the brake lines.
The change in position made the ride mo bettah.
I picked a couple other risers from the Wee Strom forum plus a nifty hat for $15. I put them on my G650GS and my DL650. Sometimes you get a lucky find.
I just ordered these from Amazon. One of the reviews said he has an ST and just had a bit of rerouting to do. I have ABS. I hope I do not run into any issues other than just relocating cables.
How did you tighten the Rox knock-offs? I have to pivot them up to reach the bottom clamp bolt and then try to hammer it down to reach the top one. But to get it it tight enough on one makes the other unreachable. What’s your technique?
