Bored today since we cancelled the ride late yesterday when the forecast called for rain off and on all day in Colorado… Well typical Colorado weather no rain…
Headed down to the local shop and while looking to build my tool kit, I found a set of Super Tenere appropriate Rox Rixers, 2" high. Thought I'd try them. I've watched the altrider installation video and picked up the other small parts at the local Autozone.
Installation was very straightforward. No issues. I had doubts about the "workaround" that altrider used for getting around the stock lines on 2" taller bars. After getting it all installed did their 4 T check out and took it for a ride. I liked them. Because I'm shorter, my arms didn't have much of a bend when riding. This put me in a more relaxed riding position. Standing on the pegs and operating the controls was much easier. I found no negatives with the Rox Risers..
When I got back I took my time to really inspect the "workaround". I don' t like it, meaning I think it'll work fine, but not for me. I read the other thread about the variances between each motorcycle could make a difference if its tight or loose..
I think the workaround is a viable solution if you do have some room..
Anyways, I went ahead and ordered a set of the longer lines from rideonadv.
