Risers

OK I know this is been talked about but I really need a little guidance on this. I am 6'1 and a little lite in the a_ _, 175lbs. I have a long reach but I think I'd like to put risers on. Primarily because I hear you guys talking about it being more comfortable. I have a 1600 nomad, 2006. Can you give me specific risers I can use without mess'in with cables, and what the benefits are. Again models, manufacturers.
Thanks

Just got my 2.5 inch risers from chuckster today, new bolts, washers, and nylon locks nuts in a chrome dichromate finish.

Tax, everything you need comes with the risers. Just as Mustang mentioned. Go ahead and get them. You won't regret it. Joe makes some great stuff.

It's either 3 or 4 inches. Crap, I can't remember now. I used to know this!

At 6'3", I don't think you'll need anything more than 3" risers. I'm 6'2.5" and got the 2.5" risers and they feel great!!
