I took off the 6" and went to 4" witch is as low as you can go before the controls on the stock drag bars will hit the tank when turned all the way. You can make up spacers for the stops on the tree to limit the turning throw and go lower. I am going to install 2" this week and will post more pics.

Check the old Night train picture thead... theres guys on there that went with 4" risers... I could be mistaken but I think one of the guys nick is "Brimmer" watch out
going with low risers you'll prob need flush mount gas cap and gauge? and or throttle
cable with different ends?

tinger, i have herd lots of negitive feedback about demon cycles on the forum. the risers are great so far, however they sent me the wrong hardware. i said #&%@ it and went to lowes hardware section. i guess they are hit or miss..............good luck!
