Default Which risers?
looking at going with some Nash Gimps in the next few months. In the meantime I intend on picking up parts here and there that I will need. Bike is a 2008 Night train. I want to run a short riser say 1.5-2" riser, That said what year and model stock riser would work for me? I want to keep cost down so I figured I could source the risers from ebay off a stock bike or whatever. Thanks in advance. Looking to run 16" nash gimps for the record.

IMO you cant go wrong with an OEM Heritage 1.5 riser. I even see the Heriatge risers on Sucker Punch's bikes.

They can be had dirt cheap on flea bay and just have a timeless look about em....Easily powdercoatered iffin's thats your thing or cool in Chrome!!

I'm not just a spokeman for the Heritage riser club....I'm also a Member!

So which years will interchange? I saw a set on EBAY going for like 10 bucks but it was off an older model bike. Late 80's model. That is the size I want to run (1.5") but just don't wanna buy some chit that don't fit...LOL.

Its a great piece. So good in fact sneek a peek and see what the guys at Sucker Punch Sallys are using on their mass produced customs.
