Am going to answer this question about Rox risers soon, but.......

[Texasten]

Will ask on here anyway! I have Rox antivibe risers off my old Versys. The Rox site says they will NOT fit on the 2014 S10, that they have only one version that will work.
I have held them near the bars and I can't see any reason they won't go on there. Altho, the angled top plate sort of confuses my little brain.
By using the spacers, on the bottom attachment, the size is 1 1/8. The top attachment is also 1 1/8 inches. On the Versys, the spacers went only on the top for the 7/8 bars to fit.

Unless someone here says it is a no go, I am going to attempt this soon, and I will post the answer on here.....

Thanks for any ideas on this. :-X

Please post pictures of this when you take it apart and put it together.

Ok, I have installed the Antivibe Rox risers on my 2014. They WILL fit, however, the factory top "clamp" does not get a really good grip. If you draw a line between centers of the 2 bolts, the end of the Rox risers hits at about that midpoint between the attaching bolts. That does not give it a great "bite", but I think it could work.

Maybe some of you engineer types will chime in and advise if you think it a bad idea to ride with it like that???
If those aluminum clamp pieces are really strong, I don't see a problem.

To fully install this mockup, I would have to grind off one of the locating tabs on the inserts that came with the Rox risers. Right now they are just put together loosely to see if it all would work. I notice the handlebars do have a bit more movement when I rest my hands on them, but I don't see that as a problem.

Will try to put some pics on here now.......

Did you check the brake and clutch lines? Do they reach fine?

 

[Texasten]

Yes, brake and clutch lines fine lock to lock. The throttle cables tended to be a bit tight full right.

Looks a tidy enough solution to me, go for it ::008::

Ok, here is the promised answer! Yes, the antivibe Rox risers work great. Ground the little nubs off 2 of the inserts and tightened it all up today. Went for a spin and the bar position is perfection for me. Before the risers, when i scooched to the rear of seat, it felt like I was leaning on the bars with too much weight. Now, with the bars back and up by a couple inches, I don't feel like I am leaning so much weight on the bars. Plus, I guess you could say I now have double anti vibe bars. There is a bit more movement in bars, but it is hardly noticible. As far as safety, I think any problem that might develop due to the "less than perfect" fit of the risers, would show itself before it became a life or death thing. Perhaps in a get off, they might not be as strong as the nice new version of risers developed for the 2014. I may get those some day, but for now these will work. Obviously the Rox folks are fantastic and looking out for us.
As for Ron, yikes, I know you may not like this good report. But you should just try some risers, you might be amazed!!!!!
But, maybe you fit the oem setup perfectly, so you save a few bucks....... ::012::

Here is the final final word on this....... Went for a ride today and noticed that the mirrors tend to move too much. When I relax and lean on bars a bit, the mirrors drop too low. So, my final thoughts are, don't use the Rox Anti vibe risers, there is a little too much movement with the built in anti vibe on the factory setup and the anti vibe Rox risers..

Am going to do the smart thing and order the Rox risers designed for the 2014 Super 10. May have the anti vibe version for sale for a bargain soon also!

I have a pair from a previous bike and will mount them this winter, to replace the 2" Rox risers I currently have on my Gen 2 SuperTen..


However, I have found a nagging problem with adding risers; mine are mounted as barbacks as well, which basically cantilever off the handlebar mounts attached to the triple clamp. Those mounts are rubber mounted, if you look closely underneath them you will see a thin rubber gasket which allows the handlebar stems and handlebars to flex back and forth. I find that disconcerting so I am going to remove the handlebar stems from the triple clamp and see if removing the rubber vibration isolation gaskets will allow the stems to mount solidly to the triple clamp and eliminate the flexing at the handlebars.
