I have the exact same setup on my bike (Rox risers and a Renthal CR fatbar). Cables and brake lines are fine - the brake lines are close to the limit but not tight, even with the forks extended to their max (like when you wheelie :-))

Hi! I know this is a bit too late to ask but will the rox bar risers affect the DP steering damper? Is a fat bar better than normal bar for the MTS?

Having fitted a rental 7/8 normal bar I find that I'm sitting in a sporty position, with no bar risers. Other bike is a Dr350SET fitted with fat bar and bar riser/adapter so I'm kinda comfortable with that setup.

No. but that depends. I have a rox and a dp damper, but I took a 1k damper and flipped it upside-down on my 1100s.

Here's the current setup. I'm about to get a rox riser but I'm afraid that it will hinder the damper.

has anyone tried moving the handlebars further forward and lower? I have the opposite problem than most, I'm 6'8" and actually prefer a lower more stretched out bar position... there doesn't seem to be much room, though...
