Bill,

Just wondering did you ever get your Rox Risers installed?

Ok I know this is old, but I just did these 2" rox risers on my 2019 heritage. Based on your photos, you went with a lot more pullback than I did in fact I went straight up and maybe even back a bit. This made all bolts to the lower clamp inaccessible unless you use the vice grips method. Had to take the shield off to get to the top ones but that was easy as well. My biggest problem was the clutch cable, it doesn't make it lock to lock. Right side it tightened so far that it pulled my cable into actuation. Had to remove the cable from the front fork cable tie down. That freed up the slack to allow a lock to lock turn with no overstretching.

I have short arms so I needed the bars to be further back toward me so I could have a little bend in my arms. The little bit of rise also made things more comfortable.

Yes the bolts are hard to access. And, yes, I believe I lossened the Clutch cable a little.

Just sold Cherry today. Was sad to see her go, but glad somebody else will enjoy her.

Yes, I know, this is an old thread.

But, if any of the posters, especially @FrankEV could comment on their longer term satisfaction with the Rox Speed adjustable risers, I'd be mighty curious to read what they say.

Especially when it comes to the likes of picking the bike up when it falls and such. Do the Rox Speed risers stay steady under such heavy loads, or do they slip? Any problems with them vibrating themselves loose?

Darn good chance come spring time I'm going to probably want to use a set for similar adjusting and tuning for better smurfy fitment.

Hopefully Frank will respond. His last activity on the forum was January, 2023. He's 81 years old. Not that his age matters, of course.
