Have you posted any pics of your bike yet?
Were you able to keep all the stock cables with your pullback risers and how closer are they compared to the stock one?

I haven't posted any pics yet but will do it soon in the Night Train section! ;o)

Welcome and congrats on the Train.

At 5'6 you should look into a reduced reach seat.

And like a few others mentioned - head over to the Night Train thread and start spending lmao.

Congrats on your '08 Train.

Be prepared to spend $ and a lot of it.

Also, I switched out my stock bars/risers for Street Slammer pullbacks. HUGE difference.

Yeah...I'm figuring what I'll need to make it the way I want it...handle bars...back rest...maybe a new seat...that won't come cheap for sure!

As far as the Street Slammer goes, the more I look at it, the more I like it so I just have to find a set for sale and put it on!
