Looks better than the 1200C riser. What top clamp/speedometer mount did you use?

How does it look to you?? That is really the only opinion that matters.




As for me, I think it looks silly with the speedo mounted that high. And risers like that are really meant for drag bars. But like I said......"Hows it look to you?"

No way! I love it man.. I think it looks awesome. In fact, it would look better with taller risers. But I'm not sure why you went with black risers? I think chrome would have suit your ride a bit better.. but regardless, it looks good.

I like the risers but the speedo looks out of place way up top.
