Looks good. The spacers blend in real well. I really like the new stock grips too. They feel great and look all business.

Can I ask what "handlebar spacers" are? Do you mean the risers?

Just curious... What's the advantage of spacers over replacing the risers so you have a 1 piece setup? Is there a big cost difference?

I think I paid something like $46 for the risers to add 2". New 7+" risers would cost an easy $100-200.
Spacer Jim was great...Paypal'd him the money and had my spacers in like 3-4 days.
