I'm not sure, but if you scroll down on the DK link, there's a simple way to check. You can loosen the rear bolt and remove the front bolt and lift up the front of the tank and check the clearance. The crossover line should have enough slack that don't have to remove it, at least enough that you can probably eyeball whether the 1.5" would work. I just looked at my current BO set up with the blackline dash and cvo raiser and it's tight, I wouldn't be able to raise mine at all.

You can get it there but you've got to move the speedo forward in order to clear the tank. I used the short CVO style risers mounted on 10 degree bushings to lean the speedo forward. Thats not the only way to do it but this method does a respectable job of concealing the gap at the front of the tank created by the lift.

I've installed the Thunderbike flat straight risers with 1.5" spacers and the stock bars. This setup offers no possibility to compensate a more forward position causef by the bushings...and with respect to comfort the current position is as far front as I would want to go.
Another potential issues also stated on the DK website is the handlebar clearance with the tank when steering is fully turned to either side. Not a problem with apes but with the stock bars this may be. This clearance is the reason why I had to use those riser spacers with my flat risers. Without spacers the switch housing would touch the tank on both sides.
What's the amount of your tank lift? Sure looks more than 1.5"....

Yep, there are different issues for sure. Apes are a much easier configuration for this type of thing.
