    '07 GS

    Rox Risers full up*

    6' 5" tall w/ 36" inseam



    * with the risers in the full up position, the GS windscreen must also be in the full up position to avoid interference w/ the handlebars.

    I have both ROX and Iliumworks, but use the Iliumworks because as someone wrote somewhere on these pages, "I've never seen a pair of ROX that were on straight." Indeed, their versatility make them a challenge to align and keep aligned when you fall. http://www.iliumworks.com/Page.cfm?Category3=POWDER%20COAT&InfoID=5919&Search=

    I've got some Rox Risers on order, but actually getting the right ones for my 07 GSA, 1 1/8 - 1 1/8 with 2" rise, is proving to be next to impossible, so I'll probably end up with the Illiums. I've ordered from them before, and they would be at my doorstep in 4 days.

    Last christmas they were every where. Where have you tried? Have you tried Rox directly? They hooked me right up with a 3.5" setup for my XR.

    I use the Rox risers, they work great. I had AWS risers on my 07 and I prefer the Rox over them, price and fit.

    Getting stuff in the good ole USA is easy. Up here in Canada everything gets back-ordered, but I will try Rox directly.

    Rox risers. They seem to do the job okay.

    If the above had to be true, then I would call it an advantage for the Rox, as when you fall, they prevent your handlebar from bending by twisting.

    If you mount the Rox properly, they are straight and they don't twist....

    Put the Rox Risers on my GS. They were a little tricky to align at first but they are fine now. I put on mostly to bring the bars back. Seem to work well so far.
