My bars where built by BR custom bars. If I remember correctly they are 16 inches tall (I can measure again if you want a precise number). My risers are 2 inches tall.

I'm 6 feet tall. They fit me perfectly.

Nice bike. Welcome. Very unique paint job. How do you like the exhaust?

Thanks about paint work, wanted to do something a little different. The exhaust is Paul Yaffe sounds awesome and looks great but didn't do much for power though but fixing that now with a Fuel Moto 107 kit. I am also doing a ShotGun air shock this winter

I had my dash covered with leather in an attempt to stay away from the popular blackline dash. If this doesn't flow with the look of the bike i won't have much of a choice.

I think it looks pretty good. That way from the factory and I might have left it. The main issue I had with the stock dash, though, is that the leather/plastic/rubber part between the chrome and the front of the seat bowed up and left a large gap between it and the tank.

Mine was doing that also. I believe he added extra length to the leather to try and stop that from happening. Tank and tins are at paint right now but hopefully will be back soon.

Awesome. It'll definitely be a more unique option instead of the blackline or stock. Interested in seeing it once done.
