Anybody using Spacer Jim's spacers???

ds06nomad · 05-07-2008, 02:40 PM

This could be just what I'm looking for in lieu of spending $100+ on a full set of risers. Has anybody used this product from Spacer Jim's? If so, how's the quality, finish and durability? Does the bolt kit mate up properly?

Thanks for any/all feedback...:confused:

Ride safely,
Daryl

They look like what I installed from Chuckster. The purchase price was $54 for the 2-1/2" risers. I can recommend the Chuckster's risers as an easy install. The finish was top rate too. -Rich

+1 for chuckster's risers. Plus he is super-easy to deal with and he ships fast.

Mine are similar. Got them on Ebay $40. Not enough pull back. They come back a little but not as much as I need.

Someone on here just used some chrome deep sockets with longer bolts. uUder $10 ea.

That was "J.J." that used the sockets. BnG

Hey gang,
I can make any length of riser you want as well as the 2" which is the most popular one I do. If anyone is going to the rally in Maggie Valley, NC. I will be there and you are more than welcome to check them out on my scooter.

radco · 05-13-2008, 05:09 AM

Joe you should bring a few with you.,assorted sizes,YOU may pay for part of your trip

......Cannt wait to try them,,,,,,,,,,,HOPEFULLY this weekend,,,Rich

+1 for Chuckster's Spacers...Top Quality and a Excellant finish.
The 3 inch ones worked for me.....Brought the grips about 1 1/2 inches closer to me.

Can you do the Chuckster's 2 inch and not have to replace or stretch any cables? Is it just an extension and do they come with longer bolts. To install do you just remove the bolts and add the extension? Guess I have let the cat out of the bag that I dont know anything about risers.

FROM what I read on People who used them is th 2" and 3".. you use the STOCK CABLEs,,and no one said cables were streached,,,,, They come with the Long Bolts,,Basicly looks like a Chrome Socket.BUT w/o the large hole..I just want alittle more pullback so I ordered the 2"/If not enough I get the 3"....CHUCKSTERs riser are talked about alot on the VROC and Kawasaki Vulcan Forums as well...ALL GOOD comments,,,,,,Rich

Thanks, Rich. Keep us posted on how you like them. I thought my bars were ok but now I am wondering if I would like them back a hair.
