Home made risers installed

pagemastr · 06-05-2009, 02:50 PM

Just finished polishing them last night and installed in time for the weekend. Polished aluminum clear coated about 2 1/2" long and judging by how the ride to work felt this morning (last day for kids

) I love the position they put the handlebars in.
Almost like the Nomad was custom built for me

Only one pair cj, need to keep it original; right ??? Had our NC been running I would have had Nomad cut into the sides.Thinking of taking them off for chrome along with a couple other items over winter if I get ambitious and do it then. Wanted them on for the summer and glad I did

Sister needs some on her Honda shadow, at 5 feet nothing I'll be making something up for her shortly (no pun intended!). Thanks all....

Do you remember what bolt thread size you used to mount the risers? Or what type of threads the stock risers require?

Is it a 10mm fine thread?

UM: I used a 3/8-16 x 5". It is only a through hole in the risers, no tapping necessary. Stock thread was a 10 x 1.5 I believe.

Very Nice. How did you decide on that shape/design?
