Nice pics. Your RX3 looks great in red (the best color).

Congrats Keithmaine! The bike looks great! Red just pops when you see it.

So now that the windshield and top case is mounted, the bike has been toasted, and the plates were conveniently in your car, that you managed to put a few miles on the bike?

Quick 8 mile run. First bike rides great I like everything about it. One issue It seems to lean me forward upper body more than most Adv bikes I have ridden. I am long legged short torso 5'10". Has anyone used bar risors yet? I feel my arms need to go up and back a bit.

I haven't yet, but I am going to add some bar risers as well. Rather than add spacers under the handlebar trough, I will probably install Tusk risers for 1-1/8 handlebars.

Huck

which size die you use. The power madd I was looking at are too high for what little extra cable we have. Did you have to re-route cables??

Thanks

I used the "Tusk Handlebar Riser Kit 1 1/8" Bars 30mm" and nope, I didn't have to re-route or lengthen any of the RX-3's cables

Make sure to check for clearance on the bottom of the stock mount, before you order those...

I will thanks, I am still not sure if these are the best solution for me, they do offer the best possible adjustment.

I haven't seen those before. Very cool adjustability.

Check out Rox risers. They also have models that you can adjust front/rear position.

I looked at Rox before buying the Powemadds, I believe the powermadd to be a stronger design. So I went with the Powermadds.
