I really like your bars too. In fact I considered the exact same bars. I think they look great near the triple tree, ie without tall risers.

If your going to go taller why not just get some taller z bars? You can get 10 inch bars relatively cheap if you just want to powder coat them black. I just took off my 10 inch z bars and can tell you they feel like drag bars with regard to input control and response.

Good luck.

Cheers,

Tom

Play with this idea....Do the 6 inch risers and then lay the bars forward so that they sit flat like clip ons.

I think 2" risers would be as tall as you should go before it looks funny. Those Loners look nice.

well i went with the 6" inch and he is powder coating them for me. I plan to get the trees done in black and lowers as well over the winter so I dont mind the contrast of color for a few months. Also going to get the clam shell from harley to protect the headlight since I already had one lens break on this LED light.

I think the bars do look good but are to tight on the tree. need some room to breath.

I have the 1" loner risers and the triple clamp. These guys make a very high quality product that looks and fits perfectly. You wont regret buying from them.

For the looks i wouldn't use risers at all. For the comfort i think that 4'' will work for you. Nice bike!

And I believe hs asked for opinions, so he got opinions.

To the OP glad you found something that should work for you, post pics after I think it will look nice!! Also should make you much more comfortable than how it is now.
