Default Spacers on T-Bars

Anyone running spacers on there T-Bars to get the height right?

I love my bar set-up but its just a little low and to much of a reach with my seat so I bought some 1 1/2 inch spacers to try.

Just curious if any handling effects and post up some pictures if you have them.

I've fitted 2 inch spacers on my Fat Bob and I find them a lot more comfortable as they also bring the bars back slightly because of the angle of the risers.

If you go any higher than 2 inches you will need to buy some longer cables and front brake line.

They make no noticeable difference to the handling.

I got mine from Spacer Jim who is a great guy to deal with:

I haven't got any pictures but they look identical to the picture on the web site.

I made my own out of aluminum stock.

Cut, drill and polish...looks like chrome.


Be careful the first time you move the bars lock to lock...check for clearance!
