Which brand and length risers do you all recommend?

[Ren]

Add another vote for the Phat II's. I don't remember the actual size, but I got the most rise and the most pullback I could get without changing cables/hoses.

I keep saying that one day I'll go ahead and buy new hoses so that I can add another inch or so to both, but at the rate I'm going I will wear out the bike before I get around to it.

another option is aeromach pullback risers I installed on my 05 800 but the riser support bolts that came with the risers were 40mm long and too short once it passes thru the tree, so I had to buy new 10x1.5x50mm 12.8 grade socket head bolts for there to be enough thread left above the tree, but phat II risers I had on my old 04 1500 were wonderful and I just cut the cable ties for more cable slack and re-routed a cable to behind the forks for more slack, try scootworks and good luck, I think phat II's are more solid riser than the aeromach's because of the bolt support, but if you can get the phat's go for it

Good to here about the shoulder relief as I am on My way again today to the doctor for neck & shoulder issues .Looks like once they get done with me it will be risers or pull back bars and the lightest good Quality helmet I can buy .

I have the Phat II risers. Work great and no cable changes. No issues whatsoever from Scootworks when I ordered. Super easy install and I sit in a better position now.

I ordered some Phat IIs 3 days ago (Monday, June 6). I have yet to see an email indicating they have shipped. Their site says allow 3-5 days to ship. We shall see...

[degreaser]

wait a bit, they might ship soon

I ordered on June 7 and received the shipping confirmation yesterday, expected delivery is tomorrow. I ordered the phat 1.5 from scootworks.

I bought Harley 4 1/2" risers, drilled out the Triple Tree and ended up spending a lot less than I would otherwise.

What? June 7 and already received shipping confirmation? Maybe they had yours on hand and mine had to be made? Dunno. Their site clearly says allow 3-5 days to ship, terms which I accepted before deciding to order the Phat IIs. I attempted to phone them just to see if they did have them in stock. A recording greeted me and more or less said it is useless to inquire about much of anything regarding an order until the 3-5 days has passed.

I'm 5'7 1/2" also. I put a set of 4x1 H.D. risers on my 1500 Classic & it was perfect for me. Heres another option, I have a set of Aeromach 4275C risers N.I.B. $115.00 + S&H.

I installed aeromach risers on my '05 800, I had to buy new 50mm mounting bolts because the 40mm ones that came with the aeromach's were too short, could be because the bolts go thru windshield support bracket and also cable guide brackets

I ordered a set of Phat 2s this morning. Will keep ya'll posted on shipping. They should be giving us discounts from the sounds of things. I ordered mine from what I read in this thread.

[degreaser]

dave at scootworks has good risers but customer service is not very good, although customer service is going down-hill almost everywhere these days, sign of the times I guess, if you get your Phat's without any people/service hassles then consider yourself a lucky one

[VulcanJeff]

I went with Scooterworks for various reasons. The number one reason was they did their homework. They tell ya the details of cable routing, what works as far as height and pullback and that stuff. Their price seems pretty reasonable compared to what else is out there. I was tempted to go with Chucksters - 2", 2.5", 3" - wasn't sure which ones I would go with but he never responded to my email. Dennis Kirk has some generic risers (California Custom or something?) for around 50 bucks but like Chucksters, they rise and don't pull back. So lastly, the Phat IIs rise and pull back. Case closed. Scooterworks for me.

They clearly state on their site that shipping can take 3-5 days. Today marks my fifth day. Though I don't like waiting "forever" for an order to ship after I've paid for it, I was willing to accept their stated terms. If I don't get email shipping confirmation by end of today, I will inquire via email. Honestly I don't expect much from the email.

I bought a Clearview windshield late last Summer. Talk about customer service!! Those folks rock! I can't say enough good things about their service and their product.

Oops. I was pleasantly surprised to find them waiting for me when I got home from work despite never receiving shipping confirmation LOL! Can't wait to get'em mounted!
