So what do want to do? what kind of riding do you do? mountain? trail? ditch banging?

mostly off trail riding, mountains, ditch i dont want to go much bigger than a three inch rise just so i dont have to extend cables.
My bro took factory 4" rise off his 2004 700RMK VE and put on 8" did not extend anything, cables or brake line. Rerouted and works great.

wow really what would you go with a block riser or a t type post
My bro's is a t post steering post with a 8" block riser. I am putting a Rox Elite 6 to 9" adjustable riser on my 2002. But it will be a ton of work. Im a sucker for that.

I think I might go with the rox three inch pivot risers I should make it a little stronger

I just went with a Powermadd Pivot Riser adapter and a 4" riser (about 6" of total rise) on my 2002 and really like it. Had to use a extended throttle cable and brake line though.

Current Set-Up: PowerMadd Pivot Adaptor, 4" PowerMadd Pivot Extension, Stock Handlebars, RMK / FabCraft Grab Bar, RSI Aluminum Short Bar Hooks, RSI 7" Rubber Grips, Rox/PoweMadd handguards, RSI Extended Brake Line, PowerMadd Throttle Cable Extension.
I used marine-grade vinyl with a 7" sewn-on zipper to close off the area between the tank and handlebar pad. The Rox/PowerMadd handguard mounts are on the "inside" of factory controls. I used a 7/8" hole saw to drill the holes through the factory cover (looks the same as the factory grab bar holes). I have noticed that the RSI grips are "soft"...they are already showing wear after one trip.
