ROX Anti Vibe Risers for R1200GS

I've seen older posts on people mounting ROX risers, and I was just re-reading the review in the November (or December) ON that was favorable but showed them mounted without re-routing cables behind the fork tubes. The ROX install instructions describe moving the cables. Has anyone mounted these? I want to try these, but I'm reluctant to drop my fork tubes to install these. They also don't provide torque settings.
Thanks,
KL
 
The torque specs for the ROX riser bolts are the same as the OEM bolts on the bike. I added these on my oil-head GSA and remember that this was the case back then.
IF the cables need to be re-routed, the best thing to do is to remove the forks from the triple clamp.
Sounds harder than it is really. If you feel unsure about this than you can ask your dealer to do it for you.
 
I installed the Rox Adjustable Antivibe on my '17 GSA and did not need to reroute the cables.

I recently installed the "fixed" ROX riders on my 2016 R1200GSA, but ultimately did not re-route the cables. Although I can go full stop to full stop in the stock cable routing configuration, it does put a little strain on them. I lowered each fork, moved the cables to the outside, and determined that it was better to leave it routed the way it came from the factory. I rarely have a need to go stop to stop anyway, but I may address getting longer clutch and front brake lines when I eventually remove the tank at 24k for a fuel filter. Other than that, love them!
