I believe the stock risers are 5.5" from the tree to the center of the bar.
I changed mine to 2" risers... also changed the bars.

i slid my forks up the triple trees about an 1 1/4 do you think it would interfere with the stock bar set up, also i read that you sprayed your inner rim black, do you think i can do the whole rim or will it get to chewed up over time
