yeah its a big decision. im running 16s with 4 inch risers. you need to look at some bikes with them and see how they feel. you also have to consider you will more than likely have to change your brake line, throttle and clutch cable.

the wiring has to be extended also. I recommend hiding it in the bars, too.&nbsp\\;

I figured I would have to change all the lines. If that's the case I might as well upgrade to all stainless steel now then. I also wanted to thank all you guys for all your help.There are a lot of nice bikes in here!!
