Default Night Train Risers
What size are the stock risers on a 2008 Train? I love drag bars & I'm thinking of getting some shorter risers, not too short though. Anyone know of some cool looking risers? They will be powder coated satin black.

I have a set of Accutronix 6" risers what are powder coated a gloss black for $75shipped. the caps are polished aluminum. Let me know if you want pics. They have been collecting dust for several years. They look like these but black lowers and polished aluminum caps.

stock train risers are 6 inch. i have replaced mine with 4's and love the look and feel of the dragbars sitting a little lower.

How was riding with the 4" risers? I'm 6'4" & have long arms so I don't think it will be too bad.

As the other's have pointed out, stock risers on a NT are 6".

Anyone have a good suggestion on an affordable set of 4" risers? I love that look.

Drag makes 4" risers that are $75 a set, in chrome only of course. Wild 1 makes 4.5" risers in black for $95.
