Those risers are friggin huge!! Looking good man, I'm liking that front fairing. Did you try flipping your mirrors under the bars? That way they don't stick way up like that. Here's a good pic of my mirror. It's a right side mirror, but once you flip it, it mounts nicely on the left.

Not wild about the risers, but once you get the rear lowered you'll have a cool bike.

Is there anyway to tilt the fairing closer. That look off leaning forward so far.

And how tall are those risers? 14 inches? I put taller pullbacks on mine which are 9.5 inches. Yours are friggin' tall!

They are 12 inch west coast t-bars. I wanted them to come to just below my shoulders and they fit perfectly. Really comfortable too. I had 9.5 inch pullback risers on before but wanted to go bigger. The tilt on the fairing does look off when the bike is parked like that but when it's completely upright it looks how it should. I had to get some brackets custom built to get that fairing on there to begin with, kind of a pain. I thought about flipping the mirrors to go under the bars but decided just to stick with them the way they are.
