I have a 2015 Viper. Has anyone put a adjustable riser block on there machine? If so what kind? How much is it? Do you need to extend the throttle or brake line?
Thanks Sweeper

One of my riding buds has the Rox adjustable 6-8" riser on his Viper. No issues with the throttle or brake line. I liked his set up so much that I decided to go that route on my SideWinder.
Do a quick search under "Rox" and you'll find that quite a few Viper riders like it.

I have the Rox riser vx1r is talking about. I got it used on ebay for $100 w/ quick adjust levers and a bar pad.
Aesthetically it looks really good. It eliminates the cheap cover and adds a racey look. As far as functionality it bolted in great with only a minor headache associated with cheap hardware. No line adjustments only some creative foam cutting to hide the lines under the cover.
I got it as I'm 6'2" and my dad is 5'8" and since he was brave enough to lend teenage me his toys I guess it's time to return the favor. I highly recommend the adjust levers because otherwise you may as well just get a set riser block. No shakes or shimmys in it and it hasn't moved yet. Loctite is your friend.

I'm getting the powermadd 5"-8" adjustable riser pretty soon, I'm 6'2" and do about 50/50 on off trail so I'll comment again when the white stuff gets here.

Rox is 5.75-8.25 so about the same thing. I'm all arms (30" inseam) and it feels like a great height for me so I'm sure you'll like it.
Honestly I wanted the powermadd but I found a deal on 96 woody's studs, double backers, and a used rox riser + pad/cover for $150 that I couldn't say no to. Take some photos when you get it on.

I also have the ROX 5.75 to 8.25 on my 15 XTX and as long as you just go up and down the cables are fine. I tried rolling the bars back and did have a problem with the brake line but there is some adjustment in the banjo fitting at the caliper to get a little more play in the line. When it is fully extended up I do feel a bit of flex in the bars because the 2 sides are independent of each other and it did come loose 1 time and the bars fell backwards so check the bolts a second time after a few miles of hard riding.
