REVIEW: ROX RISERS & SOLEX BARS

I got my hands on a set of Rox Risers and Universal Solex handlebar with the pod dash panel. I have to say Rox products are top notch quality. The installation was pretty straight forward and simple just a little time consuming in being that Kawie has plenty of bolts to remove. Total time was about 30-45 minutes but I took my time. The only problem I had which really isn't is that the dash panel needs the rubber spacers from the stock pod and doesn't tell you so, it just takes you a few minutes to look it over and see that you need them and you swap them. You will see what I mean by my pic. The ability to be able to adjust your seating position is a great advantage especially on long rides. The wider handlebar makes steering much easier, you will see this as soon as you drive on a hard surface. I went for ride with the family this weekend and I had to drive much slower and the better seating position and wider bars really were much more comfortable and easier on the upper body. This is a great addition to your quad, total cost is under $200.

Nice review! I contacted Ryan, at Rox, and they believe that the dash mount will work for Prairie's as well! I may well give the risers a try with a set of Fast Flexx bars. $$ will decide, but I am more sold, than ever, after reading your review.

looks great python

I ran into a slight problem with the K&N airfilter. The filter is a touch taller then stock and it makes it difficult to remove. There doesn't seem to be an issue with the TwinAir I have. So I used 3 washers to raise my dash panal up a notch and that worked great. I am going to contact Ryan at Rox to let him know.More then likely this isn't a known issue.

With my dash panel I had to bend it up about 10 degrees or so to clear the EHS lid no biggie. When I was in my backyard giving at thrashing, I discovered that I needed to put some more ass behind the bolts holding on the risers. Nothing says exciting like letteing the bike down form a wheelie and the bars keep on going, got my attention real quick.

Way better ergonomics than the stock setup, easier to turn and easier on the back for those long trail rides. As for it hitting the mud lid I would say that it would. When I installed mine I had to bend the bracket up just a little bit to clear the regular EHS lid. I remember seeing a instrument mount that I believe Mike Penland made that put the pod above and infront of the handle bars.

Agree. Whole different feel with this set up. I ride quite a bit standing up and with the new bar set up it works quite well.
