Today I did a 44 mile solo ride and got to try out the ROX setup for the first time since my recent install. First I will start off by saying I was reluctant on performing this mod and a while back I jokingly posted that I liked my factory Yamaha ape hangers in a ROX thread. I just really didn’t see the point in it at that time. Then Blklab started looking into the ROX setup and the more I researched along with him the more I knew I needed this mod. Plus the fact I just can’t let my riding buddy out do me. :icon_ goofy: So we both ordered (though I didn’t tell him for a few days) and installed them along with the ODI lock on grips.

So back to the ride today. What a great upgrade! I really like this setup! Being able to have more control of the handle bar positioning really adds to the rider seating comfort. I also like the extra width of the bars and the straighter hand positioning. Reminds me of my dirt bike riding days. It actually felt like the EPS was working easier. Usually the last third or so of my riding day my shoulder blades will start aching and I did not experience this today. All in all I say money well spent and it was nice to catch them on sale. Now I wish I had performed this mod sooner! And the fact it looks Bad Ass doesn’t hurt! :peace:

I really like the feel of the ODI Rogue grips also.

I also rerouted my foot brake cable during the install. I will post about that in a different thread.
