Risers

socwkbiker · 08-09-2007, 06:43 PM

My risers are coming in today and I'll be putting them on next weekend with a buddy of mine, unless any of you are close and feel inclined to help. :-/

Any recommendations about handling, comfort, etc.?

Just make sure you cover your tank and front fender before you start with any tools. I love the comfort my phat II risers give me the positioning of the handle bar are great, and I did not have to extend my cables. Cheers and safe riding.

Do you have enough cables with the phat ll on the 1600 Nomad CC???

According to two people here and the mfg, the stock cables are long enough. I checked and there is plenty of play in the cables.

Yep, my cables were long enough on my 1600 '05 Nomad. One good investment as well was the Utopia back rest.

Yes I did Doc, I had to take the clip off that held the from brake cable in place...which is in behind the lower fork tree but that was all. Real easy to install.

phat ii's fit perfectly without changes to cabling etc. 100% pleased with riding posture and comfort.

They came back 2 inches approx.

I dont necessarily need the pull back, but I would like the rise to hopefully stop hitting my knees in tight slow turns. Glad to hear that the Phat II's dont require cable changes.

up 2.5, back about 3; dropped bars right in my hands

I plan to go with the Phat II Risers as well. Right now I have dog bone risers on the bike. They do the job but aren't the purtiest in the world. Free is the best price I know of so that's what I have for now. ;)

socwkbiker · 08-12-2007, 08:11 PM

For those of you who put them on yourselves, how difficult was it and about how long did it take?

08-12-2007, 08:34 PM

I just raised my bars about 2".. just for the heck of it!!!!!!!!! :)

socwkbiker · 08-13-2007, 09:54 PM

First: GH for you to have done that in 10-15 minutes...you da man!

Phat II risers - $95 on Ebay

New set of metric hex wrenches - $11.78 from Home Depot

Sweat soaked t-shirt and stank eminating from my body - the wife is gonna pay that cost when she smells me.

Putting on your risers in the hot, sweltering garage, taking 2 hours (with eating dinner time and running to Home Depot) to complete the job and having the pride of doing it by yourself - priceless.

For everything else - there's gotta be someone at Mastercard who can put this on quicker than I did.
