The risers aren't for everyone, but, they're comfy as hell. I'd even like to go taller now that I've ridden with these 9.5" risers for awhile.

wow, as someone who hates the way windshields look on a bike, that actually looks pretty cool. If it were mine, I'd probably paint match it, but still pretty sweet looking.

Each visor mentioned will give a different look to your bike.
I suggest you look at each one and see which you like the best for YOUR bike, looking at mine may give you a different look then the Tracy or the Ness. Earlier on the post TheTick1959 used the Night Rod visor on his Nightster for again a different look. As I said, it's your bike, pick what looks good to you and don't worry about what anyone else thinks. After all you are the one you have to satisfy with it.

I don't usually like fairings on sportsters. Gotta say tho, the one you got would be my pick.

Well, after riding with the Ness Fairing for a season, it is quite functional and looks great. Having said that, I've found that it is quite flemsy when riding through heavy winds. I came across an H-D Detachable Quarter Fairing on ebay for a good price so I decided to switch over. Saskatchewan wind gusts can be quite harsh at times so the heavier construction of the H-D fairing should serve me better I think. I'm gonna be making a few more changes over the course of the winter, but, for now, here's the H-D fairing mounted on my bike.
