I do my research on Revzonga, make triple sure I'm getting the right thing and then shop price - usually Amazonga - got my Rox risers for $20 cheaper and no worries about shipping/return hassles.
A simple tip to mitigate the risk of the bolts loosening, I just put small dab of paint on critical bolts (and a mark on the surface next to the bolt. That way if they start moving, it's obvious.
On parts like this, or any part you don't want to get lose, you can use Loctite Threadlocker Blue 242, it's still removable with tools but should keep the bolt from moving. Don't use the red, you have to heat the part to remove it. www.loctiteproducts.com/p/t_lkr_blue/overview/Loctite-Threadlocker-Blue-242.htm
With those risers can you bring the handle bars back closer to you? I have a 2006 honda 1300 vtx and I installed a new mustang seat and it sits me further away from the handlebars. From what a few people have told me you can adjust it to bring the bars closer.
kevin carr yes :), it will tilt in two locations; the triple teee top and at the top of the risers. The only limitation is the brake/ clutch cables/ electricals that run from the controls.
I put ROX Risers on my Africa Twin. Wow, what a difference 2 1/2" makes (OK, stop it you guys...I know why you're laughing. Get your minds out of the gutter for just one minute, will ya?) They changed the whole feel of the bike. Much better standing, and cruising down the road is much more comfortable. I even went so far as to put Altrider lower engine guards on, and then mounted highway pegs on them. This bike is so ergonomically friendly now, that I feel like I could ride it around the world. All it needs now is an expresso machine and a toaster oven and it'll basically be a two-wheeled motorhome LOL Seriously though, if you're into some off-road stuff, but also really like longer tours, think about highway pegs. They let you stretch out your legs and also shift some weight around when your butt gets a bit sore. I've found them well worth the investment. Thanks for the vid. It was amusing and informative. Be safe, God bless.
Your best bet is probably a clip on riser like the helibars. I put these on my hayabusa and they helped. www.helibars.com/suzuki/helibars-tracstar-handlebar-risers-for-suzuki-gsxr1000-2005-2016/
Jim Gordon thanks! I love the tiger 1200, it’s the first bike I haven’t had the urge to trade lol. Very versatile but seems to excel on touring which has become my favorite type of riding. How do you like yours?

Well I just rode for 6 hours in 30 degree super windy weather. Heated grips and seat. Wow. The triumph is brilliant. Thre rox risers are perfect. The only negative on the triumph is excessive vibration at 75mph. I'm happy.
@@jimgordon3468 I know what you mean, there are a couple of rpm ranges where it's like the harmonics of the engine cause that whole frame vibration thing... eh well nothins perfect. Glad the risers worked out!
No worries! I fidgit with them some times (forward and backwards) depending on what I'm doing with the bike. Take care to really make sure the bars are even on both sides as I've had some issues with that, though nothing too serious.

Really good idea, I think I would go paint over loctite.
@@motodrang4287 Locktight and a dap of paint or nail polish is ideal :)
Can you rotate them back to pull the bars closer to you ?

Brett Cohen well put! Thanks for the comment! 😀
I'm 6'1" and need risers for my "07 GSXR1000. Can they help me?

Nice video. I'm putting rox risers in my tiger explorer 1200 today. Haha. How do you like your triumph?

Never mind I finished watching and you said you can thanks

Maybe actually SHOW the product on the bike next time?🤷🏻♂️
Good criticism, that was a silly mistake.
Revzonga is way overpriced on these. Wow.
