I'd like to see a pic of the nacelle without the "riser kit" that they sell.... I am planning on using my existing aftermarket 1.5" shorty risers and apes as long as it looks OK....

If you use the original risers you will need to grind the top of the Nacelle half’s so they can fit around the risers, and you won’t be able to use the riser cover that comes with the kit. I decided to get new Heritage risers lucky for me the stealership had them in stock, I also used my Deluxe bars which feel really good now with shorter risers. I will soon switch over to some mini apes but for now it feels right. Not to hard of a job to install, the instructions are not to helpful it just takes a bit of common sense which I don't have (haha). Here is a pic of the new Nacelle I just need to adjust the light.
Where did you buy the nacelle kit, and did you use original headlig
