Can't comment on rox risers. But renthals enduro high, formally the Dakar bend should lift and widen the bars substantially. Measure the slack on your cables. That's the total length you can go up and out without changing anything

Should be not a problem wihout extending the cables. Got renthal bars and +30mm lift on tranny 650, still plenty of space for more lift.....

i think the 650 bars are higher than the 700 my mate has one.

Hi ..have you looked on xrv web site? should be some info on the 700 on there..

Problems we found on 650...on full lock the handguards catch screen edges ..mot faliure...
also the front brake hose and choke cable sometimes needed extending but as the 700 is injection shouldnt be a problem..

Renthals web site has all the bars with bends and width etc...just find out hat size the honda 700 std bars are..also you would need bar end weights..

there are cheap bar risers on ebay which are very strong and good but the rox have the ability to drop bars back...all your own choice..

I have rox risers on my africa twin and they are great, the extra stage of adjustment is very useful but the question is are they worth the extra money? I think so.

I would be surprised if they fit with the standard brake lines though.

My opinion is that rox risers are great. Definitely worth the money. A one time investment. Just keep them and transfer from bike to bike as you swap and change steeds. I've had them on 950 adv, te 630 and 950 se. All without having to modify cables.

This might seem a rude question but why do you want to raise the bars? If its for off rd road work your better off riding over the bars. If your really tall get a higher bar, if you fit fat bars you will need an adaptor wich in itself gives you 20mm (plenty) . Bikes arnt made to be rode stood up with a straight stance. The rox risers arnt up to off road work.
Hope my reply helps.

disagree Felco, Ive never had an issue with the Rox Risers Offroad. I have been told the same thing though by others, and that is you shouldnt use risers off road. But it would cripple me with the bars down low. Its OK on the road without risers but I cant stand without them. On any bike. You have to be comfortable when stood for long periods and with my back arched over without risers seems daft when theres an easily afforded solution. Not sure how much taller bars would be?
