I had drags on my 07 883c. An i used the stock risers. Unless you want a really pulled foward ride keep the stock riser. You could get a lower riser but keep the pull back.

thanks everyone...

I want a set so I'm going to start to look... Next will be forward controls I think as well but I'm not sure on the comfort of that...

I like the set the Johnny G guy has on... they look pretty B.A.
