New risers arrived, and as expected the normal Rox risers don't have nearly the issues of the anti-vibe ones. It's still going to amplify the flexing effect of the stock dampers (which can be addressed with the washer mod, if desired), but it no longer feels like the bike is twisting in my...

So before I uninstalled them, I took a short video of the specific flex that was bothering me so much so you guys could see what I'm talking about: Twisting mounts I have the bars turned to the lock, and I'm putting relatively minimal pressure in the leftward direction... this isn't me cranking...

After looking more closely at the manner in which the lateral flex is occurring, it is definitely mostly attributable to the anti vibration risers. Interestingly enough, it's not the actual rubber that is the issue, it's the fact that there is a bolt that goes through the rubber that ends up...

It was out of caution that I created this thread... seeing the mounts twist to the degree that they did when I tested the rox risers makes me uncomfortable about the hardware in the handlebar system. When I turned to lock and shoved the handlebar, I thought I had twisted the forks in the triple...

Well, I installed some big washers that go around the core of the stock anti vibration dampers, and while it did help significantly with the flex I was experiencing in a forward / backward direction, the flex in the twisting the bars direction was less effected (perhaps unsurprisingly). As it...

Lots of good information, thank you everyone. Not sure if I could return the risers or not... my guess is not, but if I can make these work for me that'd be preferable. The flex I'm finding unusual is coming primarily from the stock dampers, not the risers, so it's not surprising that people...

That's an interesting idea... thanks for the suggestion. I'm going to pick up some big washers tomorrow and see if I can tune the amount of overall flex in the system to my liking. Yanking on the bars and having them bend on the triple clamps isn't really something one is going to notice under...

Greetings, new owner currently in the process of setting up my new '19 Tenere, and had a question for those with bar risers. I installed a set of Rox risers with the vibration damping rubber bumpers, and I'm noticing quite a bit of movement... not stuff actually twisting in the clamps but...
