Default 2010 WG 8 inch risers (pics)

so i changed my risers to 8 inch ones. i wanted to keep the rake inline with the bars. i had no problems just bolted right on since the stock risers are 5 inches. plenty of length in the stock wires/cables. i'm 6'2" and it fits just perfect. and here are the pics...











and the all important before and after...









and after...

Those risers look great! Maybe down the line a little more rake to the forks would really give it that stretched out chopper look. JMO. How did it affect the handling/riding position? Where did you get them? Sorry for the 20 questions, I really like the possibilities those present.

Strange request here....
Could you post a pic of you on the bike in riding position ? I'm the same height as you and I have been considering a set of T-bars . But I think I like the way your bike looks better with that set up , than with a T-bar set up . I just am curious how comfortable it will be with forward controls .

just sitting on it it's very comfortable, the pull back on the bars is a little much for wrist but it's perfect for the throttle. the pic will be a while since the bike isn't at my house...
