Saw this on another thread and mentioned it to my husband, so he called the Rox "guy" and they sent us a set. We got them on yesterday (all day affair), but in the end, they definitely work. Here are some before and after of the measurements:

and after:

We were worried about hitting the tank and they come REALLY CLOSE...there's millimeters to spare, but no touching, hubby even did a bunch of Ride Like a Pro maneuvers and no touching...

Hope this helps you if you were like me and just weren't comfortable leaning forward.

A miss is a mile......whether it 3mm or 10 ft. as long as everything stays put.

Nice work.

Did you have to replace the cables ?
Which model risers are those 2" risers ? I cut not find anything related for the Indian Chieftain on the Rox site .

Nope, no replacements. However I did already have the clutch cable changed out a few months back to a Barnet for an easier pull. But there was plenty of slack for everything else.

Do you have the part number? Looks like exactly what I need, thanks for posting.

I ordered a set from them from their blemish stock. Since they are under the fairing I really don't care if they have a scratch or two for the low price of $95. Probably install them weekend after next.

Sorry all, since they were given to us as an experiment we didn't get a part number, but they were very helpful so give them a call 218-326-1794 if you’re interested. The guy my husband talked to was Ryan but I'm sure anyone there can help

Nice find! If you check the RoxSpeedFX site, they have a "blemish" section where you can get returned and slightly blemished items. I paid $95 for mine.

i wonder how much they would be without their bmw riser caps?
can't use them as our riser caps are threaded on one hole & not on the other hole.

ask your husband if he reused the oem riser caps

No need to ask him as I was there the entire time. the Rox risers took the place of the handlebars on the oem riser caps

Were you happy with your earlier replacement of the Barnet clutch cable? Did it indeed give you an easier pull? Was thinking about going that route. Thanks

OK thanks, I heard they changed the bars between 2014 and 2016. That is about 1.5" further back than mine with the 2" pullbacks on the original bars.
