What size are these risers? Thinking of running this setup of risers and the drag bars.

6" or 8"??

Any other ideas of where to run the speedo? Going to get rid of the tach and run speedo only. Maybe side mount off the fork?

I'm also going with 6. Looks like La choppers risers. I used them with 1.5 spacers along with fat Bob bars. I like that set up

Why don't you just grab a tape measure and get a real answer rather than guess.

Longhair- He said he was thinking of running this setup which means he probably just found this picture and posted it thus being why he's asking the board so he can purchase something just like it.

To the OP. Definitely 6".

That's correct. I like this setup and using these photos for direction. Not my bike in photos. Finally found the company where this bike was posted from. http://www.trampcycle.com/gallery/custom/dyna/dyna.html

Thanks for all the feedback!

Looks good. Anyone ever use the autoMeter speedo mounting ring on a Dyna? See a bunch of people with Sportys using this setup..
