6" risers?
I've seen 6" risers on that white sporty with the 4.5 gallon tank, but have not seen any on the peanut tank. Does anybody have 6" risers and a peanut tank, if so, can you post or direct me towards pictures?
Mine just came in and I want to see what it looks like before I go through the trouble of splicing all of my wires for the extra 2". I also have a new speedometer housing that is attached to the top clamp and mounts above the bars. I'm going to a straight riser because I hate the way the speedometer looks standing straight up like morning wood with the pullback risers. I also have 4" straight risers on the way just in case I don't like the 6".
Any help or comments appreciated.

RE: 6" risers?
Is that what you are looking for? I am not sure if you can find a bracket that will mount both your speedo and rpm below the handlebar. I do think the 4 inch riser looks better on the peanut tank but again you never know.

Mine measure 8", swept back slightly. And I have the peanut tank. I like the look.
