Off the Road

[klunsford]

Hey my European Friends,
Does anyone have experience with Off-The-Road? I found a set of handle Bar Risers that look awesome for the 2014 ES. Just wondering if anyone has done business with them.

Because of my location, I was actually looking at them for the ECU reflash (instead of the UK) as I heard good reports. Decent German company all round, give them a call or email them if you have any queries.

I did email them, they responded quickly. I like the handle bar risers for the 2014 Tenere that they have.

Quick response is generally a guide to future dealings and issues should they arise. Go for it, they should also take 19% VAT off, but may lose a little of that on postage......

I have used them and great quick service 2 days to the uk would recommend them

Thanks for the responses Gents. I think it will take a little more than 2 days to get to Oklahoma here across the pond. I have a friend who bought the risers from them and they look awesome on the 2014 bikes.

I am only 5'8" but notice when I stand up there is a bit of a stretch. Asking the obvious would this mod really help?

Nah, grow longer arms ::025::
Seriously, it will help, and maybe rotate the bars until you get the right feel.

inquiring minds want to know...why not go with the rox risers?
100% adjustability, and a good price. usually the 2" risers require little mods to cables (brake), If any.

I don't like the way the Rox risers look. These are a little more aesthetically pleasing (did I really say that?, my wife has me watching way to much HGTV). I also like the position that the bars are in with them. Someone else has them here in Oklahoma City and they seem very comfortable when standing. After the conversion rate, I believe shipped and all they are about $80.

Rox's are far more adjustable with their double pivots than anything else, that is the beauty of them. But if those static risers work for you then unnecessary I guess. Except you might not be able to move them over to your next bike. I have a set of 1-3/4" Rox coming off of my Husky soon. I'm hoping they'll mount on the S10 without any cable changes. If not I'll just go without as not really needed anyway. Stock bike gives me a good standing position out of the box. First thing I noticed when I test rode it back in 2012.

the 1/3/4 will not work with the stock bar.
I had those risers along with some renthal low rise flat bars, and worked just fine with all stock lines.

I eventually upgraded all my lines to ss, and went with some 3.5" risers. All is well except the throttle cables are a bit short on full left lock
