I have Thunderbike Flat Risers (chrome) already installed as well. Waiting for custom painted tins to be installed to post some pics. Also have Thunderbike rear fender with integrated tail light and turn signals painted.
These are Thunderbike risers as shown on the website (also available in black) and as they look on the bike...sorry for the bad quality of the pics, better ones soon...

I see. Thanks. Those probably won't work with the Blackline dash correct?

They work! I have the Blackline console as well and there's enough clearance, don't worry. I've been the Guinea Pig for this...

Wow. Now I'm definitely interested. Is it the same clearance as the stock risers or little less. I wonder if I can use my heartland spacers with the thunderbike flat risers.

Hard to say...I've seen that clearance only once some weeks ago while installing the risers 'cause the bike is still at the dealer for some more parts to be installed and lately the tank is not on the bike anymore.
I'd say it's a little bit less than 1/2 inch but probably with some spacers rising the tach bucket the clearance might even increase, not 100% sure though. I guess they'd look perfect on your bike...great work you did there!
If you have a little patience I'll manage to be more precise next week when my bike will be done and will be able to take some pics.
Now finishing install of many parts, cams, exhaust, TB risers, custom painted tins with TB rear fender and chopped front fender...
I'll open a dedicated thread with pics and all part numbers as soon as done...

Yeah Hunter; my flat risers are from Thunderbike like Nostradamus's except black.

Thanks for the pics Nostro! looking good and appreciate the pics!

YESSSS!!!! That is awesome news that the blackline dash will work with the flat risers. Now I can order the parts up. I think those flat risers would look insanely good on your bike Hunter. It fits that "Lead Sled" i mean business look of your bike. Also take a look at those "Dynamic" mirrors at Thunderbike. They are featured on their Triple 8 bike and follow the stock handlebar profile nicely and have adjustable arms to raise and lower the arm height. They're pricey but quality is first rate.

I'll post some pics of my bike when done too.

So, as promised here's a brief update.
Picked up the bike yesterday afternoon from the dealer and the clearance between tach bucket and Blackline console using Thunderbike Flat Risers is about 1/4 inch., enough not to have any contact between the parts in any situation...

Awesome. Glad to hear. It seems like the move the bars forward more. Is that the case? Seems like that from the position of the speedo in relation to the dash

Yep! Being straight and flat risers they don't have any pullback so riding position is moved forward and lower. Can live with it though. Slamming the rear end a bit more should improve a bit the riding position, now still testing my own setup...
