06 Nomad Risers

topwop · 03-17-2015, 08:13 PM

Just picked up an 06 Nomad and was wondering what type of risers everybody uses and where I might find a set at a reasonable price. I'm thinking of a 4" or so rise with a 1.5" - 2" pull back.
Any suggestions??

Phat II's. Best rise/pull back out there that does not require rework of your cables. Not cheap, though. But very nice.

You weren't kidding about not being cheap! $160. seems like a bit much but I would like to see a set on a bike before I bite the bullet.

I have a used set of Phatt II's I'll sell you. I milled the inside corners to clear my Barons tach. Just need a little polishing . PM me if interested.

I bought a set from chucksters. Way cheaper and work just fine.

^^^^ Yep! Chuckster's risers on mine, too. They are great and cost friendly!

Two chrome 19mm deep sockets- $12.00

Do the Chuckster's bring them back far enough and are there any cable modifications?
What size do you all have? I was thinking the 3" but I really wish that they pulled back a little.

Best thing to do is email him and ask him your questions. He returns emails very quickly and can give his opinion on which size you might need. if I remember I got the 2" and did not need to modify my cables. I'm not sure about 3".

Those are neat. The adjustability is a nice feature

But what is the chrome quality like. That's a huge price difference and I've learned the hard way all to many times that we really do get what we pay for. I've already learned that lesson on my Nomad with inexpensive, poorly plated saddlebag rails.

Chucksters are not chrome there polished aluminum. Those adjustable ones are pretty cool.

Excellent. Much better than chrome.
