Bar Riser Height?

I put 2 inch rox on my bike. Made a big difference for me. I love them. I would go 4 inch if there were enough cable

That looks like a pretty slick option. On dirt I use 30mm risers, just the tusk extension pieces, but it is on my yfz450 that has 4position adjustability on forward to back. For dirt I have it a bit forward. Haven't decided what I will need on snow yet, going to use the stock set up on my other bike, then go from there.
 
The Rox riser is an OK budget riser, but I have to tell you the pivoting nature of them is not great for snowbiking. I have owned several sets and for snowmobiles they work just fine but they become a real pain in the *** on the snowbikes because they love to come out of alignment. Knock a tree with the bars and they tweak, hit a little root and they tweak, lay the bike over on hardpack and they tweak. You spend more time fighting them to bring your bars back true that I got pissed and gave up.

Pick up the Fastway/PMB 2" Billet Bar Risers and you won't have to worry about that crap anymore. They cost a bit more, but they are worth every penny. And they last forever. The only reason I'm still not on my first set is fitment between new bikes every year.

Trust me, stay away from the pivoting riser. You want it to bolt into the triple clamp and be hard as a rock.

I had the Rox pivoting riser last year on my TS and it worked fine. Granted we had a light snow year so I maybe only rode six times but hit plenty of stuff and dropped the bike plenty of times without issue. I am 6'2 so the riser and the ability to articulate is key.

Fastway makes great stuff and its definitely a stronger set up. The pivoting nature of the Rox riser makes it very susceptible to movement. I had plenty of them flatten out on hard landings when snowmobiling. But it my case I have yet to have an issue on the TS.
