I will be installing some ROX risers. I notice they make a pair with anti vibration mounts. Has anyone tried these? Are they worth the extra money?
Thanks.
Thanks.
Thanks. I went through my pile of MCN mags and had every issue except August. Murphy's law.There is an article in the August 2019 Motorcycle Consumer News magazine "Good Vibrations" that reviews vibration isolators.
xtrig.com offers PHDS bar clamps that look like they will work on the NT700
When I did a search on risers, I noticed you had bought the anti vibe riser kit. Was that for your NC700? They do not list an NT700 kit on the ROX site.Yes and Yes. They take away the shock from the small bumps and road imperfections.
Although Rox calls these "2" risers," in measuring I found the true rise to be 2-3/8".
Did you have to replace brake lines and clutch cable?Yes and Yes. They take away the shock from the small bumps and road imperfections.

Did you get the throttle cables from Rox?Yes and also the throttle cables. Deb's bike still has the standard front brake hose and is OK.
Thanks for the helpful info.I used Motion Pro for the cables and they do an excellent job, plus they offer two different exterior looks. I chose the one that is black and its appearance is identical to the standard Honda cables. They have all the standard cables in stock to use as an example so all you have to do is give them the year/model and ask for "X inches longer than standard." At the time they were approx $40 each.
Some other places may require you send them the standard cable so they'll know what type of ends to fit.
ps. I had a Trans-Alp clutch cable previously but felt it was a bit too short to work with this increased rise.
I inquired at Motion Pro, and they said they have no information on the NT700. I would have to send in my old throttle cables. Cost would be well over $500 CDN including shipping and tax. Does anyone know of another company that makes cables?I used Motion Pro for the cables and they do an excellent job, plus they offer two different exterior looks.

For what it is worth. The discontinued Helibar kit had longer throttle and clutch cables. They included a brake line extension that went from the master cylinder to the original line. The extension bolt had a bleeder which simplified assembly. Helibar might be able to give you the source (specs) of the extension.
