Default 4" or 6" pucllback risers hit tank?
Anyone on their Night Train have either of these? I'm looking to streamline the look of the bike some more and want to make sure the handlebars don't hit the tank at full turn.

Anyone know which pullback risers are on this pic? they look nice.

I put a springer on my nightrain with wild 1 chubbby bars and a 6 inch pullback, no issues. fits just fine. pullback isn't a big deal, just make sure you have enough rise.

Hey Blk.

6 1/2" risers here as well. No probs. But be warned, with the stock bar turn signal mounts, the turn signals will hit the tank. I went with those flip out mounts (like on the CVO's) to fix that problem.

Thanks JD! I was looking at the 5.5" ones from the Drag book. Yours look great.
