Default New Risers, Speedo mounting
I got some new 4 1/2" risers for my 2000 sportster 883. I felt like I was leaning forward to get to the grips, and it was making my back a bit sore on longer rides. The new grips combined with a new seat will make longer rides much better. Here are some pics:

Very nice. I am about to do the risers too. How tough was it to mount the speedo? How about brake line, cables, wires? Anything to that?
