The installation was easy. Handlebars raised about 1" and moved closer by about 2". Riding is much more comfortable. Can't wait for warmer weather and no snow.

Have pictures but cannot figure out how to include them in a post to the thread.

You need to host them somewhere or add them as an attachment.

PM me and I can do it

for like $60 you can buy someone's stock low rider adjustable riser/headlight/handlebar assembly.

I went with WO560 drag bars, love how much pull back they have.

I know that it's too late now but did the idea of reversing your stock risers 180 degrees from the factory setting ever cross your mind? This would have moved the bars back at least three quarters of an inch, maybe a little bit more.
