Default drag bars....again.....

hey you guys i got my drag bars in, i love them but cant get them on for about a month, long story anyways so i kind of put them up on the bike to see what they would look like, and well i cant really get them too close to where they will be but man it seems like they will hit the tank or the bars will, maybe not. Only thing im afraid is if i wait a month to put them on and they dont fit....my one month return policy will not be there. Is there anyone on this board that can show me a pic of a sportster with a peanut tank that has the T bars with 6" risers? The ones i got have a pullback to them, i think the risers all together measure 6" before the bars start, but its really like 3" straight then 3" pullback if that makes any sense. My bike is a 2001 883, not the custom model. Anybody have a pic so i can ease my mind?

If your putting on 6" risers, you could drive a truck between your tank and the bars. Mine have "NO Risers" and they even clear the peanut tank. And why worry about sending them back...aren't they like 30 bucks or so? If so, not a big deal is it? Put them on now and quit worrying about it.
