Phat Riser 1x?

siriusjoe · 01-13-2012, 09:54 PM

Anybody using the Scootworks Phat Riser 1x on a 1600 Nomad?

I know the Phat Riser II seems to be most popular around here, but the advertised dimensions of the 1x model sound perfect for me.

My main concern is whether I will have any problems with clearance to the speedo housing.

If anyone has pictures of the 1x on their bike, I'd love to see it.

Thanks,
Joe

Joe, the Phat #1 repalcement for our stock risers ends up being the the same rise and pull back that you get with the 2 inch extensions added to the stock riser. Chuckster and several others offer the 2 inch polished aluminum extensions with hardware for $20-30. Because that is so much cheaper than the Phat 1's most people needing only a couple inches of rise and a inch or so more of pull back take that route. I'm 6 ft and wear a 18 / 36 long sleave shirt and that set up works great for me.

I am 5'10" and the 2 inch straight risers (extensions) were perfect for me.
