Default RE: Finally got some photos.. APES!
these risers are a little bit taller than stock. maybe an inch taller if that much. The bike feels VERY different now - not bad, just different. I'm very happy I already took the skills test and got my license before I swapped bars. I'm not so sure I could do all that stuff just yet! Overall, I'm really happy with them. they weren't cheap and the install was a bit of a bitch sometimes, but the look fantastic, and they feel really good. The ladies seem to like them, too!I would definitely do it again.

You have nice hangers too! Ever consider powder coating them black?

To Texas Fat Boy: The handlebars on your bike look like what I am looking for to put on my 05 Heritage. Can you tell me what they are and where you got them? (dark blue bike with smoke windsheild). Thanks!
