Got the risers on
Got them done, well, I still have to clean up the Teflon tape and change the bar clamp bolts to chrome, but other than that, they are on. I used all stock wires and cables. I will change out the brake line when I have some more money. I had to use the slack in the bottom of the brake line and slide the whole thing up through the guides. I don't like how it looks so I will change it.
The speedo wires wouldnt have been long enough If I had wanted it bolted to the top clamp, like it was before. I didn't want it on the bar clamp anyway with the change in the angle of the clamp, the speedo was almost vertical and the Mickey Mouse ear looking thing looked bad up there anyway.
I don't think the risers added to the cool factor on the bike, but they made the ride WAY more comfortable. With my forward controls, HD touring seat, and now the new bar position, the bike is ready for long hauls.

Looks awesome. Comfort > looks any day of the week. But when you get both, it's always nice, too.
