Hey mylo, I installed a set of 16" Road6Customs on my X-Bones and love the crap outta them, just be a little wary of the knurling on the mounting points. I took another forum members advice and hand knurled them with a hammer and chisel, put some brass shims on the riser cradle and now it's solid as a rock. And also to save yourself from some heartburn go and get a helicoil set. The risers are alum. and will strip real easy(don't ask me how I know). Hope it helps!!!
