Default RISERS
I have a new 2008 NIGHTTRAIN, is it possible to put lower risers on, mabee 3" or 4"?? Wondering about controls hitting tank at full turn of bars. I want to keep my stock drag bars. Thanks

*****, nice lookin' Train...I really like the look of the shorter risers, but I'd have to have arms like Magilla Gorilla to reach 'em! lol My stock 6"ers are a reach now from my Le Pera solo...nice rear fender, too...
