Tonight I finally got around to installing the 2" Rox Antivibration Risers. Price on the internet ranged from $165 to $136. Had to remove the two holders that held the lines and wires but after I did that there was plenty of length with no or little binding or stretching. It was getting dark and only had time for about a 15 mile test run going from slow city streets up to about 80 mph. These risers have several interesting and positive effects and I was a little concerned because you can easily now wiggle the bars up and down. The overall effect is to dampen or completely remove the tendency of the tuning forks to transmit the road surface. I hit some expansion joints and did not get that characteristic CTX jolt. Voila! However, the sharp jolts and hits are now replaced with a much milder and softer vibration due to the dampers. I'll :smiley-happy0034: gladly take the latter rather than the former.
