Rox Speed FXPatriot Series Pivoting Risers - 2in. - Chrome 4RP2RX02

I looked for several weeks for a solution to raise and bring back my handlebars. After an hour my hands start tingling . Several have reported that with the stretch forward that these bars have stock it’s a common issue. Don’t get me wrong it looks killer, but I don’t need a bar hopper, I need to be able to go longer than an hour before a rest stop. looked at aftermarket bars and risers until I put it off again for the umteenth time. I researched custom made bars and bars from other bikes but to be honest did not want to re-wire the bars only to not like them or need to buy new cables and hoses and I actually like the stock risers…if only someone made a spacer to bring these up and back. I ended up looking at these risers. In combing the Raider forums there were a few people who had these who seemed happy with them. So not wanting to change much, I bit the bullet and ordered the chrome 2” risers. Oddly, this is the only company that makes the size to fit the raider stock setup. I installed them per the instructions and as in the instructions some of the riser bolts are a pain to tighten. But they give you a procedure to get them installed. I had to remove the inner riser cover plates to pull up the wire harnesses and pull the cables and wiring out of the factory wire guides. The brake & clutch hoses fit without adjustment. They gave me the pull back that I was looking for. The bike steers a little bit different now but that’s to be expected when altering the handlebar placement. The only issue I had was that I ordered the Patriot risers with decorative milling on the side and instead got ones with the manufacturer logo on the side. To the vendor, I would have expected some sort of communication asking if that was acceptable or some sort of discount. No communication, therefore I docked you a star. To be honest as much as these cost I would have rather had the decorative milling, that’s what caught my attention and why I bought them.They don’t look wonky as I feared they might. A quick look down at the risers and you see a bunch of chrome and the chrome is excellent. I haven’t noticed any flex in them and most likely they will stay where they are on my bike. Is it ideal? No but it’s a good solution for this issue on the raider. Ideally Yamaha should have made some taller risers for the Raider but it’s been out of production for a while now.

Very high quality. Solid and shiny chrome

Was able to raise bars and move back somewhat need to adjust after riding couple times.
