This worked great. Would of given 5 Stars, however, the cool etching on the sides are no long made by the manufacture and have been replaced with ROX etched in. Still looks good but I would have preferred what is in the picture. This is an old stock photo, like so much other incorrectly described stuff on Amazon.

Having a double pivot point for adjusting the bar distance and angle is very useful. It gives you a range of motion for dialing in the final distance and grip angle of your bars (within its 2 inch reach of course). The only thing I would mention is that you probably won't be able to torque the bottom front bolts accurately because they are covered by the Rox risers when they are in their final position. The best thing I could do was get the fronts just slightly tight with the risers rotated out of the way. Then rotate the risers correctly and use the back two bolts to final tighten the lower bar clamps. It's clumsy but it works, not sure how you would get around this situation as the manufacturer. Watch out on bikes with the wiring routed through the handlebars as you might get more pull on the internal wiring than you realize and break a connection (oh well, probably should have been more careful). Overall I would recommend these because of the flexibility for final positioning of the bars because of the double pivot design.

Rox make awesome aftermarket parts, I used it in the past with great results.Just order a set for my new bike and apparently is under cut and it wont clamp tight on my bike making the handle bar slide up and down.When I reach out to vendor Motomentum, vendor have push back refusing the return and finally asking to pay for return cost. But the wording of the mail almost denied the request.Think twice before you order from them.

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.
