So Trouble338, what risers did you end up using? you didnt have to do any cabling changes? Bike looks great!

Also, I have never done anything like this b4 either, .but, patience, youtube vids, and a little common sense, easy as pie in the eye. you pretty much will have to replace the grips, I almost had the left one off w/o damage, but it split just b4 I got it off...Carb cleaner works great in loosening the glue in there...but, be very careful NOT to get any in your eyes!!!! I ain't kiddin' either, u will be sorry if u do! I got mine from J&P, very nice bar, cheap cost also, got the bar and risers for less than $50.00 and they do not look cheap, at all. Got the new grips from the Harley shop, almost twice the cost of the the bar and risers....but, they do look nice.
