Looks nice, good on ya again for doing your own work.
hint:
Handlebars look a little ( a lot actually) too far back. To each his own, but you'll find your wrists getting sore with an extended ride.
Think straight line with forks and handlebar rise

I had a 93 FXR that had buckhorns on it that were about the same length.
I like to ride with my arms bent a bit. The stock bars had me stretching my arms straight out. Very uncomfortable in an hour or two.
The problem with these is that I had to change out my footboards for forward controls. I got those heel rests that ease the problem a bit. But right when I get the bars right I have to put my feet forward and I only get marginal support for sitting up.
I may find a set of mid control foot pegs for longer rides. They make some mini footboards that may be a little more comfortable.
For now, I am working on getting the tune right with a TTS.
