Rox bar risers for the 2013 R1200 GS LC

Anybody have installed the Rox bar risers (the pivoting model) on their 2013 R1200 GS LC: did you have problems with the lines (clutch, brakes...) Did you have to re-route them, or even change them altogether?

Thank you.

The 2013 R1200GS LC has a 1 1/4" diameter handlebar. Rox Doesn't have a riser for that diameter bar yet. It is in the works though. Keep an eye on the site for them.

And the Touratech site in Germany has 40mm risers listed but they're not yet on the USA site. Their risers though don't look like you can adjust the angle like the Rox risers.

I may be a beta tester for Rox when they develop their prototype

I attempted to install my Rox risers from my previous GS on the new one not knowing anout the change in diameter. Obviously they didntbwork. Good news is there appears to be plenty of excess wiring to allow risers without any modification.

That's interesting. Is that a common bar size?

I don't think so.

Looks like it's a common size on cruisers.

Don't wait for risers, just install these bad boys:

Rox is making prototypes right now and I'll be beta testing them.
