Thanks for the kind words guys.
Mobster the rear wheel is a stock crossbones wheel and the front is custom with a billet hub, polished stainless spokes and a black PC 3.5" rim.
Smug the risers are J&P cycles and their 3". As far as clearance issues i had to rotate the bars up just a little bit to make sure the cable guides don't contact the tank. There is about 1/8" of clearance.

Next question, did the shorter risers extend your reach to the bars? I have the stock risers on my Train and at 5' 7" (although comfortable) I'm pretty much maxed as far as the reach goes. Thank You

The progressive kit is pretty simple. You could do it in close to 30 min, if you've had a little experience messing around with the front end/forks. Likely closer to an hour if you're careful and take your time once you factor in getting the bike in the air and so forth. The kit comes with two pvc inserts that allow you to adjust the amount you drop the front. If you don't cut them down, you won't notice a whole lot of drop. You should be able to cut at least an inch or two from the pipe and see a decent drop while maintaining a fairly comfortable ride. I would cut them in small increments and test in between so you don't take it too far. It's simple enough that you could make two or three cuts, test ride it a few times, and still only have a couple hours invested.

Yes the shorter riser did stretch me out a little but being 6'2" it made the bike feel better for me.

Do it up, e-bay was the cheapest I could find $98 with free shipping, as far as the drop goes i dont know cuz I havent ridden due to the rain/ snow and cold *** weather. But I cut 3/4" off the pipe and stuck it in there.
