Default would 7" pullback risers be too tall?
since the ones I was given won't work
https://www.hdforums.com/forum/gener...ck-risers.html

was looking thru the V-Twin catalog and they have some 7" pullbacks.
I already have a set of thier riser caps 26-0540, so I know they'll fit the risers ok


Just don't wanna look too radical with something real tall

I have 8" straight risers on my Night Train. I like them more than the 6" that came on it. They look a little tall at first, but you get used to it.

I have 6.5" pullback risers on my Train. I think they look pretty good.

I never knew it was illegal for me to carry my ice cream in my back pocket either!! Crap, I guess I will just hope I don't ever get caught
