Found good extended risers!

As another way to rise handlebars, added these Rox risers, why I think they are better, you can better dial in how much to incline the handlebars (though, limited by the brake lines).

Which one did you go with... I found several of them on Amazon's... 7/8" dia bar with 2" rise and the 1 1/8" dia bar with 2" rise.

I am liking this route better than the other simply for ease of installation and better positioning.

I went with Rox 1R-P13RIN model, it is for Indian motorcycles, must mention, but these are the closest to what would have been for Rocket, if Rox would made any... Very good fit. I like Rox products and thus, I opted for Rox again to have the flexibility of adjustment. Wish the hydraulic lines would be easy to change for longer... Maybe these Rox together with ones from Ali in the original post would work well together to get the bars even higher... Read that bleeding is like super complex on this bike, to the point only a dealer can do it well.

PS: A trick with the hydraulic lines is to very slightly undo the bolt to the master cylinder, just enough to move the hose to point towards the front more (and not inject any air), will give you that extra slack in hoses. At least on this motorcycle the slack doesn't change with handlebar movement, at least one good news, the slack is constant.

PPS: The handlebars are very heavy, you need a big blanket that can be folded in many layers to protect the tank, one/two layer won't help. This was also a change where I wish I had someone to assist, the handlebars are heavy and long, can be tricky. I did ok, but I would recommend a second person to help hold the bars. I also did not remove the display, it kind of added weight but kept things tidy as one piece to deal with. I did have later to undo bolts on the computer clamp to the bar to readjust angle of the computer, as with handlebar adjustment, the display didn't point high enough. There was also some wiring adjustment in the windshield box to get the max slack there as well. I remember there was one wire for which I had to remove the whole wire holding inner plate to change one wire routing for a more efficient route.

Better I doubt it!!! From what point off view??? Aesthetic looks?? NO I don’t think!! From functional NO because you have more connections points and two time more bolts which can fail!! From easy to install point ?? Yes it was much easy but not better in anyway!! And considering stock risers are casting aluminum not cnc billet like whole new raiser it will be much more structural stress on them because off add 2” levers on the top off sock one! That risers come with extended lines connectors and you can adjust what you need if you wand the handlebars closer! With you style riser you limit stock line length!! So what is better ???

Wow. He really stresses his handlebars. Nah. I am normal weight.

I'm 5'11" and found the bars a bit too low. Simple solution I've done on all my Rockets (3 Roadsters and now a GT) - slacken the handlebar clamps slightly, and raise the bar ends about 35mm. Retighten, and then slacken and rotate the levers/master cylinder clamps to get them level again, retighten. What a difference, and the cost - nil

1. Hi say it don’t need to install extension and brake line and clutch line not touching not rubbing on nothing and not like guitar string?? No, you don't need to. The lines do touch the front cover, but they are not stretched tight.

2. I’m also 5.8 and also gt bars and not fill my self comfortable full tilt to tilt on small places do turnarounds so it’s make it better?? This is subjective and I can't tell you what it will feel like to you. I'm more comfortable on the bike and I love the position and feel difference. If your bars feel a little low and far away then you'll probably like these.

See line not stretched tight:

Hi to all i have the risers on my Rocket GT easy to fit didnt need the break line extentions. Once set in the right possion makes a lot of differance, im 5' 9" makes it very comfortable. I got mine from Aliexpress as they look the same as originals in fact wouldn't be surprized samr company makes for Triumph. All i can say is they are well worth the money and do make it comfy to ride bloody good quality......
