Any one use these Risers

Persistance will get you to the sweet spot, the taller 3 1/2 Rox will help with accessing to tighten. As my cables/hoses are only 4 months old with 1200 miles of use, I figure I'll try rerouting to get some use out of them. Many have claimed no issues, I can wrap an extra layer of protection on any section of cable or hose at a contact point that would cause chaffing. In the event of not being satisfied with the reach/fit of cables/hoses after rerouting, I'll not hesitate to give Barnett a call. Additionally - once I have completed this - I'll check the tank lift clearance issue to determine if I want to pursue the 04/05 Gauge mount bracket that is hinged and flips up allowing easier tank lift/clearance. It seems the removal of the back bolt and or gauges is a doable option. Ideally persistence and incremental steps lead to the most budget friendly approach and desired results.

I have ordered a pair of Rivco for the Rocket Roadster. Another thread here on the forum offered info on what I found to be best buy. Phat Performance Parts have them at a discount 5% and currently allow taking a promo code for another 5% rounding off to $165.25 no tax / free shipping.

An update on my earlier reference of purchasing Rivco Risers from "Phat Performance Parts" I placed an order 4/15/18, Phat site indicated "in-stock" available to ship.
As of 4/29, I have called "Phat" on two occasions and have been provided with 2 misleading comments and two ship dates. As is current, I am now being told their on order. I always use PayPal for this reason, and have initiated a cancellation/refund of the order. While discounted pricing is always welcome, if a vendor is unreliable and provides inaccurate communication of order fulfillment, the discounting may not be worth it. Not intending to bash this Co, I'm just relaying my experience so other forum members are aware of the performance they may encounter from Phat. No worries, easy enough to verify in-stock and shipping with a reliable Co.

I have since - ordered and received the Rivco Risers and installed, the results are as most others have stated. At 5'10" it provided just that extra bit of comfort (less reach to the bars) well worth the effort. I now have on order the Rivco 6" peg mounts & pegs, this should allow the occasional stretch of the legs to maintain comfort on the longer rides. My riding style is modest, doubting lean angle will amount enough to scrape mounts as more aggressive riders have indicated. Putt Putt Putt, I think about it, but then ask why.

Here are the Rivco mounts/pegs, again, as others have stated, these provide the comfort mod I wanted. Based on other threads - the adjustment range accommodates many different heights/leg length. Thanks to all on the forum, to call out a few: Tal, Mittzy, 1olbull. Dang, now you got me thinking on the Corbin classic solo. I like the idea of the Solo/2up option with the stock pillion seat. I also find a backrest is a must for my bones on longer rides. I'm seeing where I can blend a combination of Black - Carbon fiber, Grabber, leather selections to somewhat match up to the stock vinyl pillion. I called Corbin, they say only $35.00 to ship to WA state and no tax, so total is $508.

Good for a chuckle - this is my justification, as many have done - I'll buy a used backrest (just missed one for $100) another one will come up soon. So if I'm wisely saving $143 off the cost of a new Corbin back rest priced at $243, with such a savings, how can I not proceed with ordering a new $508 seat. As many ways as I try to explain my justification/rationalizing/logic to my wife - she is not fully comprehending. Something tells me I'm not alone. I am the head of the household, I am calling Corbin on Monday, just as soon as my wife heads out of the driveway.

My wife MADE me get the R3 seats reshaped and reupholstered after a long ride, also got me to move the rear footrests and change the rear shocks, now she rarely rides on the back and I run a solo seat.
