1.5" Spacers Installed
Here are some pics of the 1.5" spacers I installed that SpacerJim made.
I am 5'7" / 165lbs and the 1.5 inches that it brought the bar closer to me made a big difference. Definitely cannot go bigger without new cables. The break line loses its slack when turned all the way left but not tight. I ride more upright and because I am a little back more it's easier to plant my feet on the ground.

That looks great! I will definitely be getting a set, thanks for being the guinea pig :-D.
I ordered some and sent them to Nuchrome in MA who apparently "lost" them. *sigh*.
Will have to order another set and try to find someone more reliable to chrome them.

So I like what I see with the 1 1/2 Alum spacers from "Spacer Jim".
I followed the link in the thread to spacerjim.com and I don't see any thing about motorcycles.
Does anyone know if he is still in business... updated contact info? Thanks
