Default Cheap riser mod
Hey, guys and gals heres a cheap riser mod for ya. The sizes may be different as this set up was for a VTX but I see no reason it won't work for us. I ran this set up on a heavily modified VTX and it worked and look great. Could be done in black as well.

I put over 50K on a set of these, but to each their own.

I've seen more than a few bikes set up like that. I like it, looks pretty cool. But you gotta use a quality socket and grade 8 bolt or your asking for trouble.

By the time you've done that you've spent more than buying one of these.

Just too many parts that could mess up
Glad it works good for you I just wouldn't trust my luck
