Yeah don't like it man-it looks very odd. I say the tallest riser you can go and look ok is 4".

It's definitely more comfortable than stock, and handling . As far as Tbars go, I looked at them for a little bit, didn't really find any I liked and with this setup I didn't have to worry about relocating the speedo, even though I may later on.

I appreciate the feedback, I know some don't like the look and that's cool. Just wanted to show what the setup would look like for anyone else that's thinking about options other than apes.
