Just bolt on Rox 2"riser... but don't do it if you like to lean back & laz back on seat. I'm 5"11" my boots probably add at least another 1" so 6 footish & I have long arms. The 2" riser pulls me in a perfect aggressive seated riding position & stand up 0k but not great ,but ,imo, Apex XTX not a stand up machine. I wanted the riser to improve my shoulder leverage & if you have bad shoulders worth doing add eps & in heaven.Well you answered my question,sense I now owne a 2015 apex xtx and wanted to add a 2" rise to my bars,but was unsure how much fooling around I would have to reroute wires and stuff.

Now are your rox riser adjustable forward or backwards,so you could bend them back towards you right!Just bolt on Rox 2"riser... but don't do it if you like to lean back & laz back on seat.

viperdave has +5 on his apex xtx and I have +3 on mine. with the +3 all I had to do was run the throttle cable under the bar instead of over as I was not happy with how it was pulling when I turned the bars.

I could only get 2" riser on mine with the stock cable. You may have to reroute the throttle cable so that it doesn't mess with your TORS. I also had to slightly straighten the metal section of the sheathing where it attaches to the carb rack. It just creates a smother transition and puts less stress on the whole cable. Once you have everything adjusted where you like it, turn the handle bars all the way left and right, while holding to brake, to see if it causes any revving of the engine or messes with the TORS. If the TORS is activated the sled won't run right. The TORS is a safety feature and should be properly operating at all times but if you are in a pinch in the middle of nowhere and it starts acting up you can bypass it. If you go to the right side (chain case side) of your carburetor there will be two wires with bullet connectors going into the carb rack. Take the bullet connectors apart and plug the two wires from the wiring harness side into one another completing the circuit. This will bypass the TORS. Of course this is not recommended but it works to get you home.
