A while back I added these risers after I did my seat height mod (separate post). I really like these combined with my seat. I'm 6'3" tall with most of that height in my legs. Combine that with 3 back surgeries and I needed a more upright seating position.
Another forum member wanted to see how I routed my cables, so here ya go. These pics were after my SS brake line instal.The left front brake line is a custom length, just a bit longer than Galfer's stock line. I probably could have gotten away with their stock length. So, unfortunately I can't take a pic of my stock rubber brake line routing to show that now. The stock rubber brake line was the one line I considered a bit snug after installing the risers. However, I rode it that way for months and never had a bit of a problem, so I think with the original brake line re-routing I did as explained below, it was fine.
I did not disconnect any cables or lines. I put a folded towel on my tank, unbolted the handle bar and the black wire "cable keeper" just in front of it. I trial fit the Rox Risers and moved things around until I was happy with the fitment. The cables are a bit more snug. The brake line was the one I worried about being perhaps a bit to tight, maybe when the front end was unweighted doing small power wheelies in 1st & 2nd, that I am prone to do with my mods. However, it was fine. I probably put on 800 mi with the stock lines. The other lines still went through the wire keeper, except the left signal controller wire bundle I left out of it and used new zip ties here and there (on the fork leg) to keep it tidy.
Here is how I remember (the best I can) how I did the stock brake line: Kept the top part of the line routed as it was. From under the front end of the bike (lying down looking up where the horn is), I disconnected the metal clamp (a bolt) that is on a rubber cushion that is stuck to the brake line to protect it from the clamp. I am pretty sure that I tried to move that rubber part, to slide it up, but it would not budge, as it's bonded to the line. So I pulled the line down toward the wheel, with that rubber cushion no longer in the clamp. I used a piece of sticky back foam, from Home Depot used to seal windows and doors. I used that to protect the line from the clamp, with the hose in the new position. I felt whatever extra slack there was needed to be below that clamp, between it and the wheel. That's it. I fussed with all the other lines until I was happy.
I added the black fabric Tesa Tape to the riser bottoms and triple tree because the tree was getting all scratched up from my keys and alarm remote.
