Default Risers
I have a 2004 night train and considering putting on 3 to 4 inch risers maybe slight pullback 1 inch or so and using a broomstick bar.

I like that forward look as i'm a sportbike guy with 1st Harley but is it functional? Will I "hit" tank area?

Cheers

I have 4" with a 2" pullback on a custom and have about 2" between them and the Speedo housing.
