I installed ROX Risers on my AT. Very easy install and really gets the bar where you need it.

Get yourself a set of these. Fantastic quality, the owner really cares and spent a ton of time getting them perfect. No, I am not the owner, just a very satisfied customer

I'm happy to answer any questions if anyone has them.
Here is a customer review on youtube for the Scotts mount system. It's the same but with the damper mounting system.

 

Can't say enough positive things about the Motorcycle Adventure Gear risers. I have them installed and they are absolutely perfect. They are beautifully engineered, machined and finished. I installed them in the forward position (turned around) and it is absolutely perfect for me.......Thanks Tim!

@mitch @johnsosn We are super glad your'e happy with your risers. We started our business because we wanted to spend our money on parts that focused on ALL the details (Style, function and quality). We hoped there would be a market to support it. Hearing such positive customer feedback makes all the hard work worth it. We have some exciting stuff we are working and can't wait to show off.

I am using the helibar bridged risers, they raise the bars an inch and back an inch and supposedly reduce bar flex. They are perfect for me (I am about 180cm) when i am seated they let you sit right back in the more comfortable, wide part of the seat and improves the angle that my legs are on down to the pegs. For standing they are actually a bit short, but still way more comfortable than standing up without risers. They cost me about $169 usd, including dhl express to Australia, so pretty good value. The link to them are below.

Motorcycle Adventure Gear risers.

They are perfect.

 

I installed Rox risers and I like them but be careful about getting them aligned. It is possible to to get them tight but not aligned and the rubber mounts of the OEM handlebar stems will try to twist and be a little cocked in one direction or the other. I guess this can happen with most any bar risers. I had to redo mine when I saw the bars were not aligned at a right angle to the bikes center line.

 

Fitted Rox Barback Risers this weekend. Turned the stems round and what a pain in the ass to get them tight again. Same problem, as soon as I tightened the Rox Risers the stems twisted. Had the stems set back and the risers set back but too tight on the clutch and brake. Turned the stems round, bars in and tightened, installed risers and stems twisted, uninstalled risers, installed bars, realigned stems, removed bars, reinstalled risers, installed bars. Would like a bit more slack on the clutch and brake but nothing binding so good to go. After the next trip if I want them back a bit more it will need a longer brake hose and clutch cable.

 

Just remember that anything over about 1-1/4" will interfere with your front brake hose length.

 

I bought the Touratech bridged bar riser and it does help to lift the bars slightly and level my arms and wrists. It's not a remarkable improvement or a miracle but it's measurably better. It does seem to stiffen up the bars a wee bit, too. Anything higher than that and I think you'd have issues with controls and brake lines.

 

I put on a pair of 2" Rox risers I had laying around. At 6'1", I can now fully extend my legs and straighten my back while gripping the bars. All the cables and hoses reach, but the brake hose is tighter than I'd like. It's one of those with a junction block on the lower end so would be hard to replace.

 

I too did the 2" ROX risers, I an 6'2". I used a tubing wrench to straighten out the bend in the brake line to help with being a bit short. DCT version so no clutch cable issues. Makes it much easier to ride standing up. Tricky to get straight tho.

 

I used the S W Motech ones , 25mm higher, 20mm back , they don't give any problems with cables or wires not being long enough,
The Adventure risers are much taller, and don't need any additions IMHO,

 

Anybody got a picture of Rox Barback Risers fitted with the bars brought closer to the rider. The video on the Rox site shows them moved forwards and not back. Going to refit this weekend with the post turned back just to check again. I figure tight at full lock is OK so long as the cables aren't being pulled on.

 

Tusk handlebar risers 1 1/8 30MM rise. Be careful you don't buy adapters. Straight risers. They are very necessary for a comfortable riding position.

 

Hey, wanta pull this thread back up and ask if anyone has put on 2" risers and is having issues keeping them aligned. I had ROX 2" Pivot Risers installed (required longer cables) and they want to twist whichever direction I last steered strongly to (not dangerously, but annoyingly). A tech suggested I find Urethane replacements for the stock rubber mounts, but I can't find them anywhere. Has anyone dealt with this? I don't think tightening them is a solution, as that will just crush the rubber.

 

No problems with mine, didnt need longer cables or have trouble aligning the bars, were easy as to fit, had them on for 12 months without any issues:smile2:

 

What brand and what height did you install? I am using ROX 2" Pivot risers. So no issues? Yours are solid?

This is what I used and they came with aluminum shims. You have to moose down on the allen bolts for sure, or they'll twist.

 

Where’s Motorcycle Adventure Gear

I’m looking for risers and dampener but can’t seem to contact anyone from MAG. Are they still in business. If not any recommendations for risers and dampener for 2019 ATAS.
Thanks

 

Me too, for my 2017 ATDCT

 

Hello community.
Maybe it's me, maybe not but the case is that I have been feeling a bit of pain in my wrists and forearm. I recently bought a ATAS DCT 2018 and after my first long ride, to get to know her, i started to feel a bit of pain. I'm 1,90cm and for now I'm riding with seat in the lower position. I will try the highest position but probably won't change much.
What's your thoughts? A bar riser is the way to go? I feel that if the handlebars were closer to me I probably would feel more comfortable.

PS : One other thing that annoyes me is the cables that run closer to the key ignition, I think it's the parking brake lines that run through the left side. When I lock position, putting the key in is sometimes challenging.

 

I think anything that is an aid to comfortable and pain free riding is worth investigating. I assume you have already tried adjusting the angle of the controls, etc.

Ergonomics is such an individual thing that no solution will work for everyone. Generally the problem with risers is that once you install them you own them. But they are generally not a huge investment either.
