Default New Risers/Bars/Mirrors/Signals

Had a request for pics of my Risers/Bars...Here ya go.
Last time I'll bore Ya'll with this...Promise
Biggest problem was what to do with my Indicator lights so I cut a notch in my Speedo Bracket and another in my Handlebar clamp. THAT was a PAIN!

I really like it. I don't think the mirrors go with the rest of the bike but I like the whole bike. How are you liking that SE Air Cleaner with the Short Shots?

Good looking bike. I agree with bmizar though...I personally don't think the mirrors fit the style of bike as a whole. Just my dumb opinion though. I like the SE Air Cleaner.

Looks sweet! I am about to do the risers on my bike. How long are yours? Did you have to extend wires/cables? How about the brake line?

Bike looks great. I enjoy seeing your mods most of all, as I have the same bike and it gives me a good look on what mods will look like.

The mirrors are a bit Gothic for an anniversary themed bike, but its a step in a larger direction your most likely headed. Dont want to shoot down a mod that could be a part of a larger look your trying to achieve. Cant wait to see the next steps.

Perhaps consider Chrome turn signal bulbs to take away that orange behind the smoked lenses and the beveled ring for the headlight to match the signals.
