Mini Ape riser opinions request.
Small dilemma to solve.
My bike is an 06. Since new, I've been running a nice set of very sleek 03" SE Deuce 1 1/4" bars, tach and a nice set of 6" SE Deuce risers with a very clean chrome center plate that hides all wiring. Along with that, a Windvest windshield that will stay. I just had my friend and neighbor Billy Rickard (www.brcustomcycle.com) fab me up a custom set of short 1 1/2" apes to change things up for 12'.
It's at the dealer waiting for a new clutch cable, and I took a look at it last night.
Anyway, while it's still at the dealer, I thought I'd ask for some opinions since generally curved risers and mini apes do not usually mix with good results.
Because of the tach and windshield mounting hardware over the risers, I think it flows to an acceptable level, but it never hurts to ask for some opinions..
I thank you for the responses before hand. .
Here's some pics from my phone.
Opinions please, should I:
1. I leave it alone because the SE Deuce risers are clean and different, and the windshield tach mixes in fine with the curved risers from all angles, and I know the windshield works with this position and set up..
Or
2. I ditch the curved risers and tach for a set of 4" straight risers for a more conventional look?
Here's the pics. Thanks.
