    Looking for some input in purchasing risers from my bike (read the threads). Been eyeing the Rox risers but concerned about routing things (buying a new nut or not...etc.). Wondering about the Touratech risers (which doesn't get mentioned much)? I can get TT easier here in Canada. If Rox, would probably buy from Rox. Also, need to make sure risers have no interference with BMW GSA tank bag.

    Whole point of the risers is to give me some height when standing. Right now at 6'3" I hunch over the bike a bit when standing.

    PS - "...am 09 GSA" , least I could do is get the gd title correct!

    I run a 09 GSA with Rox Risers and a BMW GS tank bag. Love them, they work great and do not interfere with the tbag at all. Highly recommend them.

    Been using the TT risers for 3500 miles. While an improvement over stock, I'll be getting something with more height and more aft bar position. I'm 6'2" and hunched slightly while standing. Will probably go with the ROX, just haven't pulled the trigger.

    This is good to hear. Really haven't heard a whole lot about the TT till now.

    Thanks to all. Pulled the trigger and bought the Rox Risers. Was able to find a Canadian Distributor as well. Should be here by the end of the week.
