OFT relocator vs pivot risor

[ViperTurboPete]

I have a pivot risor on my MTX. Would getting an OFT relocator be of benefit? Just wondering what the difference would be.

One moves the handle bars front to back and the OFT moves the steering post forward and is well worth purchasing. It will raise the bars alittle but keeps the handle bars flatter when turning.

I have both also. Rode the first year with just the pivot riser. This year added the re-locater. It made a world of difference! Steers 10 times easier!

X2 on both and recommand.

OFT steering relocator is the way to go! This way the steering column geometry is corrected and you no longer have the akward position during turning of handlebars with having the handlebar contact your thigh if you're over 6' tall.

Can someone tell me how long does the OFT solution takes to install? Also, I would like to see my gauges better, kinda like the Phazer. Any ideas for this?

about an hour. Depends on beers consumed, and number of friends in the garage. Worst case senerio, it could take two days to install!!

Yes, beer is always the unknown factor. Thanks.

The worst part of the OFT relocator install for me was adjusting the Steering relay rod to straighten skis, loosening the jams nut and rotating the rod was a pain in the #*$&@ otherwise very easy 2hrs max.

Here are some pics of my 6" RSI riser and bars with the re-locater. I also angled the stock gauge up with some round rubber standoffs to see it better standing. Sorry they are blurry, cell phone pics, but you get the idea

this is very easy if you have access to an air hammer to push out the rod and then turn it in. that way you dont have to get down to loosen the lower jam nut.

Use a crowfoot with a long extension, works great on the relay rod jamb nuts

i would have when i did mine, but i dont have any crow's feet!
