yeah, i think it looks better, and would probably feel better overall w/straight risers, and then some pullback on the bars...plus you can always tilt the bars a bit.

I found this video on You Tube with a Nighster using 8" Black powder coated Z Bars.

Took a while, but I found the 8" Z-bars on line.
