Bar risers...HeliBar or Rox 2" risers?

ebay riser from Turkey, it says fit 2014 and up...so no good for a 2012? I thought it was the same.

Won't work on 2012/2013 if for 2014 - 2020. The 2014 and up have different clamps.

I must be weird. I actually have my bars tilted forward in the stock mounts and really considering trying reverse bar backs. Im needing the whole bar moved forward but suspect my steering range will be limited.

I have also thought about finding a flatter bar because my problem is needing my back straighter, sitting like I’m slouched over all day wears me out.
I’m a 5’7 normal built guy I think.

I don't think so
Everybody else is moving it up and backwards.

(sorry, could not help my self, you kind of put it in my hands)

I feel that when it comes to a critical part on the motorcycle I would buy from a brand name company. Im bot going to risk my life to save a few bucks! But that’s just me!

I'm with you 100% on that!! What blows my mind are how well those cheap Chinese levers sell on ebay. Then the forums are crowded with guys bragging how good they are. My life depends on the brake lever working. No way am I going to chance it on a 25.00 knock off lever.

 

[LivingNorth]

I understand you guys on this, but most of the knock off are as good as branded, but you don’t pay for all the fancy things around the brand.
As for material quality, I just can’t see how someone can break a riser, I mean we are not jumping 30ft in the air with our bike.

I'm 6'4" and I ended up using those from ebay. Fits perfect and did not have to replace any cables/lines.

I have a Rox riser sitting on my bench now that I will most likely not install... or keep for my next dirtbike.

I bought the same thing.. I didn't like it yet. I felt more vibration to the side mirror.

HeliBars here, works great!

Rox risers work fine for me. I'm 6 feet and a hair. Added the longer lines. I've found they really increased my comfort with less shoulder and neck pain. That said, I've also adjusted how I manage my posture on the bike and think the two inch risers are the highest I'd ever consider. They are fine for the sit up and beg posture, but a tad high for a more forward lean. That said, I really like the position for standing and they let me move how I like good enough.

I like them fine, but am going to be testing various positions to see how they can work for more forward lean.

So think about how you ride and want to be positioned. My tastes have changed a tad and the helibars may have been a good option.

Hi

Did you extend brake or just the clutch cable? Which kit did you use? thanks a lot

I did both extended lines. Got them from RideOnAdv. I'm not sure if they are still being offered. Check with Tabasco on the forum - it's his company.
