I am wondering if I should get a taller riser or go with the OFT relocator kit, I am 6' 3" tall, I feel like I need another 1.5 -2" more rise on the handlebars. From what I have read on here, the relocator sounds like it moves the bars forward a bit and makes the stock riser seem taller, it is a factory riser for a MTX, Anyone have any comments or suggestions.
 
Both. I am 6'3" as well. Year one did the relocator. Massive different!
But was left with needing more after riding on MT. Felt like I was still leaning over the sled and not able to pull it up in side hilling without muscling it and wanting more....Added a lake affect 1.5" taller pivot riser and now say it is PERFECT. Correct sweep and rise. In my opinion you cannot achieve without both being 6'3"

I have the relocator. I am 6'2" and I personally think that it may be just a hair tall still. In very technical terrain it seems to push me a little further away from the sled than I would like. I may end up cutting the riser down a little.

I would try the relocator first and go from there.
 
I would say try the relocator first, then see what more you need.

Personally with my XTX I relocated my bars about half of what the OFT does using a home made set-up from here. That was a lot better, but still not enough. I ended up trying some RSI angled risers that are supposedly 2", seemed perfect for me now with the one ride I have gotten in so far this year.

I'm 6ft tall fwiw
 
I have a XTX with OFT and Lake Effect 2.5" riser. Perfect set up with my WRP 2+ seat. I think the seat is low for taller riders.
 
Already relocated with the standard riser, but the new for this season Airframe Running Boards moved my feet 5/8" upwards. I was perfectly happy with the handlebar position last year, but now it feels like my riser is too low...
