Couldnt you have just rolled your bars forward for the same effect with those after market bars? Ive got an xt 250 with almost no experience on it, but hands keep going to sleep and i started looking at risers the stock bars dont look like it would make much difference but your bars look like they would maybe. Thank you
Rolling them forward does certainly make a difference and for some, it may be enough. However, because of the angle of the "sweep" bend, at a certain point the bar ends will start to point up. A little upward angle can actually be an improvement for comfort and control, but there's only so far you can go and that's where risers like these really come in handy. I actually end up doing both a lot of the time.
I installed 2" pivot risers on my Tdub. Very comfortable!
Thanks for more t-dub content.
Thanks for the vid!!
I have rox on my xr650l, Im 6'1 and its awesome. It makes me feel like im always ready to attack. I need to get those tank saddle bags next for sure.
Informative. Thanks!
I’ve always liked the tdub I’m just to tall for one
My daughter needs to get a set of bars or riser combo that brings the bars back towards her. Any suggestions?
The Rox Offset Risers (spun around 180 degrees) should work pretty well for that, you could still use the stock bars too!

Do you get mony from rox ?
Haha I wish! I only make commissions from Rocky Mountain and Amazon affiliate links.
Only if they buy from the links. Hes a middle man shill. Just get a new bar for that price
"First!" is still a thing? ;]
Stop using risers, use a taller profile chromoly handlebar.
