That looks so much better and good to know the temps dropped so much. I made my own tank lifts and will be putting them on this week, ging with 2" front and 1 or 1.5" rear so it dosent mess with fuel mileage as much. I'm also going to get the riser extensions but probably will go with 2" as my bars are already 8" t-bars.
What the height of your bars now?

The stock bars I think are 5 1/2," so with 3" additional should be 8 1/2."

The 3" risers are just what I needed. DK guys are great BTW.
With the risers barely fitting did it effect your bars from going all the way to the left or right (no more slack in clutch/brake cables)?

I believe the bars have full motion left-right.

I've just put 2.5" risers on my low rider s too and even though I have used a 5" bolt which is as tight as I can get it the bars seem to have a little bit of play in them, I think it's the dampers and now the bars have more leverage and weight but has anyone else here noticed this after installing risers?

2.5" risers, clutch cable is fully stretched when full locked right but all the others have heaps of room. I wouldn't go any taller.

Hi. Really awesome low rider. What fairing do you have on your low rider? Thanks and cheers

When I replaced my risers, I went ahead and upgraded my bushings to Alloy Art Gooden Tite poly bushings. Bars are nice and tight and feel great. 10” risers and 3.5” rise bars.

What can I do to reduce the vibration of the handlebars in my LRS?

It's causing the view in my mirrors to distort.

Thanks
