I'm 5'8 with a 33 inseam and at first I installed duece risers with the stock drag bars on my '06 train. That helped some. I then purchased the WO501 bars and the street slammers to try out. The 501's were my choice, being a little taller and a bit more pullback than the slammers. I still have the duece risers if you or someone else is interested.

I have also installed 3" extended front controls by Ness - helped a bunch.

Lucky Bob:

I'm just about Max Evo's size and riding an '07 Train...

I'm doing surprisingly well with the stock set up but I was wondering how the Deuce risers would work if I want to try something different.Did you use the stock Deuce risers ?

Were all the original cables and lines long enough to do the modification or did you need longer ones ?

How much of a change was it,about how far rearward did it move the drag bars ?

I might be interested in your Deuce risers...
