chucksters risers

just installed a set of 2 inch risers on my 1500 from chuckster and it made a bigger diffirence than i thought it would.
i'm not a tall rider so my reach for the bars was almost at its max.
after hours in the saddle, my shoulders and neck start to feel their age .
with the risers,reaching for the bars is more comfortable and relaxed so hopefully will last longer in the saddle...so thanks chuckster for a top notch product (looks and fit)

I've got the same 2" risers from Chuckster, and like you said, they make a world of difference. I didn't expect them to make such a dramatic improvement, and I kick myself for not getting them sooner.

I have 3" Chuckster risers and I think they are the best accessory that I've added, especially for comfort when riding.

Joe says that you can go as far as the three inch risers with the stock lines and cables.

I see on the website they are made as they are ordered, how long did it take once you ordered them to receive?

Joe is great to do business with, you will receive them pretty quickly. No problem with stock lines and cables with the 3" risers.

chucksters risers

Got them in the mail this morning along with my Grasshopper backrest. Install was quick and simple, and what a difference! Before I was too stretched out and inside of my elbows would get a knot in about an hour, these put the bars in a nice relaxing position....very pleased :)

For those of you with Chucksters risers, any interference with your fairing, specifically with the cover for stereo?

These can interfere with a fairing for sure. If the fairing is installed already, look at the angle of the handlebar clamps now from the side and imagine them going up on the same angle higher. This is a true way of seeing if you were to install risers if there is room to do it.

Thanks Joe, I just went out to the garage and unfortunately they will interfere with the cover for the radio. May have to look for a different style cover for the stereo or maybe I need to get a marine unit. Been eying one that has a tray for the iphone and bluetooth, hmmm, guess I need to start dropping hints to my wife about how much better I would feel with risers. Worked for getting the Utopia backrest :-)
