The 1.5" worked great for me, but I wouldn't want to put any more strain on the cables than these do; so I wouldnt do the 1.75s. It may work if you reroute cables to get more slack.
Anyone put RoxRisers on a Scrambler 1200 yet?

Yep https://roxspeedfx.com/collections/...ucts/1-1-2-barback-risers-for-1-1-8-handlebar
I have these on my XC. If you go to post #7 in this thread you can see pics of them mounted.
Mine were the 2" rotating type. Some handlebar positions were OK, but slight movement and weird starting and shifting problems. Maybe 1.75 is all it takes. At 1st I thought they worked OK, and I told Rox they did work. Rox posted that based on my info., but I later adjusted the bars with slight rotation and the problem returned so I just took them off. If Rox hasn't had anyone try 1.75" maybe you could just return them if you have any issue. Install is very easy.
I tried installing handlebar risers on my Scrambler 1200XC and the cabling was quite tight but I thought it was okay until I tried to start the bike. I reinstalled the original bars but I guess whatever i did testing the cable slack caused something to break/unplug. Any thoughts?
I've had the 1.5 inch risers on mine for quite a while without any problems, but mine may have more slack in the lines from the factory. Also check to make sure you don't have something hung up somewhere. You may be able to tweak your cable routing a bit and make it work. If you can it is worth it. Might not seem like much, but that 1.5 inches went a long way toward improving my ride comfort.
Looks like Motone now makes an “Up and Over” riser for our bikes. I’ve ordered one and will let you know how it goes.

The mono's really do have a nice look to them.. Very clean.

I raised the bars on my Scrambler 1200 today. Good info on the thread above. I did have a Roxy 2" that I was going to use but stopped after I read the troubles with the clutch cable and starting. The 2" raisers came off my old T120 with 1 1/8 " handle bars. IT did have a little trouble with making a hard right turn as it pulled in the clutch. Anyway, I found these 30 MM (1.18") risers for under $ 20 !!! DELIVERED. The only issue I had was the 4 new bolts they sent were about 1/2" too long so I spent another $ 8 at the local hardware store getting Stainless Steel hex bolts. The raise does make my riding position more relaxed and natural for me. I am 6' with long lanky arms.
