Anyone using Chucksters Risers?

jtascone · 05-12-2021, 01:11 PM

After reading a lot on here about risers, I was planning on putting on PhatII risers on my Nomad 1600. But apparently they are out of business. I'm worried about going with Chucksters as there is no pullback to them. Any suggestions on risers with pullback other than Phatrisers that won't require modding anything? Anyone using the 3" Chucksters? I'm only 5'7" and have to reach quite a bit forward with the stock setup. Thanks.

I have the 3” on mine, love em. You can also roll the bars back to you a little. Sounds like you might need to look at a seat or at least a backrest. Get you closer to the bars.

I bought these. So many postions to set them at. They do 1in to fit the Vulcans too.

I am about your same height. I bought Chuckster's 3" risers several years ago. A back rest and the risers were money well spent. No more sore shoulder or back after installation.

Get forward pegs on the crash bars,. A back rest will help too.
Leave the gear lever where it is.

I am 5'10 and went with the 2.5" risers. They have enough pull back to resolve the shoulder/neck/back pain for me. I would imagine the 3" would do the trick. When I ordered them, he was very helpful with information. May want to ask if you can try one size and return for another if needed.

I bought Chuckster's risers. I think they're about 2 3/4 in. No change necessary to the break and clutch lines needed. Best investment for bike I've made.

too bad that Aeromach Mfg. in Charlotte NC went out of business, I think they did because their web site page doesn't work, but before they did I installed their 4 up x 2 back risers on my 800, or is it 2 up 4 back, forget, anyways they are great and it's a shame that you can't get them anymore, I think they are the AM-4275C ones
