Riser for a handelbar rocket R

Did you also swap out the R seat for the GT seat? Looks a good riding position, much more comfortable!

Yes GT seat

Yes GT seat

I'm doing the same meds in the next couple of months. Is it much more comfortable?

Good stuff. Looking forward to making my alterations and improve the ride. Thanks for the info.

Yes, I thought if we were close. Does anyone here did swap, gt for R handlebars or tfc?

I’m 5’9 and contemplating on the GT bars as well. I’m in FL… curious if swapping bars is a simple task or would this require a kit/ longer wires, etc.? Depending on insight…. If this offer is still on the table of consideration I might be game.

Just installed voigt risers to my 2020 R3 they simply slid in under the bars, did not need to make any adjustment to cable, no restriction in steering, 5 days to the front door. Not cheap but beautifully made, they also offer cable extenders but I did not need these
I am 6 2 and they are just far enough back, off for 1200 k ride this week will report back
I have a set of classic bars that I may bend up a bit and install if not happy

Rox Risers on my 2020 GT. Cables are tight but not like a guitar string. Had to get under the windscreen and loosen some wires. Very easy to do.

The Rox Risers are cheaper for sure. Was it the 1-1/4” riser kit?
