Risers/Pull Back

[dennisbailey]

I would like to get a little pull back on my handlebars. I have to lean a little forward which causes my elbows to ache after an hour or so. I have looked at the Phat II risers but not sure how much they will rise and bring the bars back. Any body know or have other suggestions.

I put these on, they raise the bars 2" and bring them back 1 1/2". Not sure they make them anymore though.

Aeromac h Risers (http://www.cruisercustomizing.com/detail.cfm?model_ID=102&Category_ID=10&manufacturer_ID=29&product_ID=18860)

Also found these, they bring the bars back a full 2" and up 3/4".

I purchased one of the 2" sets that are always on Ebay for about $40.00. They are not chrome, but polished stainless. Simply a 2" bushing that goes under your existing risers with longer bolts. I like them and they were a decent price. I'm built like a monkey with my long arms, but they raise the bars up and back to just the right place.

Check out the one's I make. They will give you the rise and also set back. I make them in various length's too.

Go with Chucksters risers. I have a set on my bike and love them. Great quality in terms of looks and value for the buck.

+ 1 for Chuckster Spacer/Risers.. VERY well made.. Had mine a year.. Had the 2" but Joe will make them any lenght you want... up to 4" you can use the stock cables.

I just changed to 4" HD pull Back risers, as shown on gadgets site,, they pull the bars back to the Speedo..havent ridden yet as I still have a Ft on snow.......

I have Aeromach's I love 'em too. ;)

I have an unused set of Aeromach that I tried to sell earlier. If anyone is interested, I'll sell at just under the lowest cost you can find, and instead of paying me, you send the money through my FirstGiving account to the Pediatric Brain Tumor Foundation (The "Ride for Kids" folks). Err... except shipping, that you can send to me. ;-)

yours look a touch different than mine rich.. your's flare to a 45ish at the bottom, mine are straight... hmmm

Hey Night Hawk 700. Rather than me going to a lot of work trying to find the lowest price, why don't you give me a quote on what you want for them. I have been leaning toward the Phat II risers but will reconsider if the price is right. I have also looked at the Chuckster's which look pretty nice. How come you didn't use Aeromachs?

[nighthawk700]

I needed more of a pull back than rising, so got the Phat II. (I'm short armed). The Aeromach came with the bike, unopened in the luggage. But they lift up more than back. I do think they look a lot better than the Phat II's though. If my arms were longer, I would have stuck with them. I'll take a look at what they are selling for when I get a chance.

you noticed that :) The risers do not flare out at the bottom.. Those are HD Riser Spacer I saw.. more of a tapered washer,, Thought it would look better the a chrom washer,, added about 1/8", I think I paid 8$ for them..... GOOD eye no one else caught it LOL...Rich

After seeing the pics, I realize I have Chuckster's risers. Thanks man I love them and the price is right. You have my full endorsement!

I also like to support others in the Kawanow family. ;)

I installed Chuckster's 3" risers and they cured "the reach" problem. No more tired/sore shoulders. Posture and comfort were improved instantly, and riding enjoyment as well.

[dennisbailey]

Looks like it is between the Chuckster's and the Phatt II. I need more pull back than rise. Which set will give me that. Drawing from all the wisdom and experience here.

I just put the phatt II's on and went 1000+ ride in two days what a deferents they made for me I got them from one of the members here at a great deal, I can't say enough for what they have done for me the pull back set me right in my back rest I am 6' 224 again I don't think you can go wrong with them.
ride safe.

[taranis]

I have the Aeromach's on mine. They give about 2" rise and 1.5" pullback. Perfect for me, but as expensive or more so than the Phat II's. My only concern with the Phat II's is I would get too much pull-back.

I just got my 2006 Nomad and It has risers that also come back about 1 inch and up 5 inches. What I would like is the bars to be more narrow between the ends. Any suggestions? Here is a link to see my risers since I don't know how to put in a picture here.

Those look like the Phatts risers.. I assume you are talking about getting handlebars that are not as wide as stock??? If so the narrow bars are not as easy to move the bike around with.. the wide bars give more leverage.........

I have Chucksters 2" riser extensions. It raised the bars about 2" and back about an inch" Just right for me!
