Installed 2" Rox Anti-Vibration Risers

[KSH]

Installed the 2" anti-Vibration risers this evening, it was like installing tilt steering
Personally I would say 2" risers pivoted back put to much strain on the hoses. If this going to be a long term installation I would install longer hoses, but I will be installing the lowering link so I will be sliding the forks up and that will gain my length back.

Edit; flawed thinking. I have to lengthen the hoses.

I have these in black on my raven bike. I gained a bit more by pushing the riser forward then tilting the bar down a little. The only hose that is a little tight is the brake hose at full left lock. But since I'm not at full left lock very often, I'm feeling it will be OK. But a one to two inch longer stainless hose may not cost too much since it only goes to the fitting about 18" away.

Im getting a fair amount of vibration on my handlebars, more so on gravel, I have the antivibe rox risers on order and was wondering if it makes any difference ,and if a improvement, is it significant?

staying with the stock bars? I am wanting to do diff bars but I can find any long enough to get all the stuff on.....

I'm with Rudolph. I'd be really interested in hearing about what kind of difference they make in vibration.

I think the anti vibration risers work very well, almost too well. I put them on my bike and had to tighten the rubbers down. It was just too squishy the way it was new. They will help with vibrations and also help when stopping or decelerating and the force on your wrist.

I never noticed vibes on gravel, but then I only rode on it once. lol You may want to check for loose bolts as well.

+1 Makes the buzz less prounanced and move them down a bit in the rpm-range, they are worth it imo.

I would like to add that my bike had/has throttle side vibration issues. I first added lead shot (filled the bars) helped but was still experiencing more vibs than I wanted. Then ordered and installed longer hoses from Jaxon and Rox anti vib risers. It is far better than it was but still more than I'd like. The risers were to lose for good feedback (IMO) so I called Rox and talked to them about snugging them up. It's a very fine line between to lose and to much vibration. Also IMO I wouldn't go through all the trouble and money for the return.

I will stick to the oem bars for the moment, well, I bought them now and figure, even if I had to pack the riser with an extra washer or two, I know I want less vibration and I am desperate to have them bars back towords me, i want to tie the bloke to the handlebars for a week who design their original location and ask him how he feel.

Just an FYI... I hated the stock bars. No matter what position they were in, they just didn't feel right. Ultimately, for me, they needed to be a little bit narrower and closer to me. I cut 5/8" off each end. Interestingly, the threaded inserts in each bar end are long enough that there was still enough threads left in there, even with 5/8ths off, that I did not have to do anything else. I put the 2" Rox risers that can rotate and rotated them back about 70 degrees. It was a little tricky because you end up having to tighten the front bolts of the OEM handlebar clamps last and in practice thay are supposed to be bottomed out first then the rear ones tightened. At any rate, when all was said and done, it transformed the bike for me. I love them now.

Good humor, always welcome!

I just thought of the ultimate idea to transform the bike to useful.
1. Get rid of it.
2. Do research on Harleys and find one with a 21" front wheel.
3. Buy it, get rid of stock exhaust immediately for loud pipes so you don't feel inferior riding down the road.

Now most likely depending on the model, all our prayers are answered, Harley has risers from the factory, 21" front wheel stock, then with the mandatory exhaust change that issue is done. Harley seats are already Chinese aftermarket quality right from the get go, so the stock seat mods we are forced to do are not needed. Plenty of aftermarket plastic shields available or do the modern Harley style with a Goldwing fairing with no windshield. No turbulence then. OK sorry, every time I see a riser thread I think of Harleys with their arms up 2ft above their eyebrows and the noise associated. Sickening,

Better yet, you could always resist the urge to be a sandy mangina everytime someone posts about bar risers. ::021::

So I finally got the anti vibe risers, have not done any real riding but boy, to me, a big difference. The bars come closer, more important, higher, (I am 6"4) but what I liked most is the movement and the insulation from bars to bike. The most obvious thing I realised straight away, is you cant feel the engine revs under acceleration. To me that was a big issue, the thing used to vibrate your brain, around 6k. You dont realise it untill anti vibe rox takes it away. Some people dont realise, mind or care, thats a $ saving for them. My very first bike had rubber mounts between tripple clamp and bars as stock. I was spoiled from the start. My anti vibe risers are on the factory setting and that is soft, standing i can twist the bars up and down a fair amount. Some folk may not like this. I hear you can tighten em up. Thank you ROX.

Oh I include pics of my old rack i modified with bits of aluminium bracket i found behind the shed, just because i was to tight to buy a normal bracket. The holes are great for tie downs and i also added a toolbag under there with a few tools. Heating and bending to even both sides proved tricky.
