riser's for apex?

[Jeckylll]

I put the mountain cables with a rox 5" on my 06 apex gt and wouldn't go back. 5" is the max though.

Where is the best place to get the Rox risers in Canada?
If I went with a 4 or 5 inch riser what cables would I need and any idea how much they would cost?
Is it a big job to change the cables?
thanks

I went with a ROX 2" w/stock cables no problems...

you have to have a little mech ability to change the cables. If you can change the oil on an apex you should be able to change the cables.

I got mine at proline in S'toon. i think they had another set. Run about 100$.

2 inch is easy to do with no cable changes. If you can adjust your handlebars you can add the rox risers.

you want the set for the 7/8 bars.

there are other risers that you can buy anywhere but the rox look the best. I will take a picture tomrow and post it for you.

Just changed my cable for a 3 1/2"Rox, hardest part is not losing the tiny screws and pin in the throttle assembly when u take it abart, took bout an hour for the job and another hour searching the machine for the damn parts I dropped down in the engine compartment plus gas and tolls to the hardware store for the ones that got away. Good Luck!

Jeckylll, I'll be in Stoon on Saturday. Did you get the Rox riser from Proline or Rec Supply or somewhere else? Does it go straight up or pivot forward a bit?
thanks

I thought the worst part was actually the end of the cable down on the throttle body. I needed a buddy to hold the cam up so I could use long needle noses to slide the barrel end of the cable in its slot.
The flipper end went right in without taking off the block up top, just slides through with a tug.

I used the yamaha mountain riser. Gives you 2.75 Inches higher. great for standing. no cable extensions used.

Cables

I put on the muffin works 8" riser and adapter block on a 08 LTXGT - if I recall it gave me about 3" taller than stock - the stock cable/brake line worked ok with some re-routing, I had to get rid of the parking brake, could not make that work or find an extension. I do have a factory yamaha mountain cable that I bought but did not need - If you live in Saskatoon and can pick it up during work hours $20bucks, I also still have the Muffin Works riser - $80 - let me know.

i used the rox kit,it gives back and forth movement as well as a little higher than stock

Well I put the Muffinworks riser I bought from dilligaf52 last week on and love it. It is actually 5 inches higher than the stock riser on my Attak. I changed the throttle cable to the mountain one, made a slight adjustment to the brake line and that's all I had to do. Everything works great. The parking brake still works, too.

What a great difference in ride, standing up now is very comfortable, I'm about 6'4" and this is nice.
