I have sat on that bike and the pull-back definitely makes a big difference.

i bought the 6.5 risers and they are pretty easy to install. the hard part is aligning the the handlebars straight. i did make the stupid mistake to use the stocks bolts and the risers don't have the holes like the original. let's just say that the bolts went through the risers. i'm buying another one and getting shorter bolts. i thought that they were strong enoughto prevent me from tightening it too much with a wrench. i found out after putting the four bolts that it actually went through. 40 bucks down the drain.
