Default Nightster Overall Height

Looking for some help from Nightster owners with stock bars/mirrors... I'm looking for the dimension from the ground to the top of the right mirror when the bike is on its kickstand and front tire turned to the left. I'm asking because I'm looking at some outdoor storage options (https://www.hdforums.com/forum/sport...r-storage.html) and trying to confirm the Nightster would fit (I plan to add 10-14" apes). Thanks!

Is that 1.5" extension part of the riser? So 54.5" in that case?

Haha, okay, thanks, so it sounds like right around 54.5" for you... Anyone else confirm theirs?
