Default Riser question

I'm looking for 6 inch risers that will work with the stock top plate/speedo. Are they out there?

if you go six your going to have to extend the wires and brake line. Four inches work, you'll just have to pull all the slack out of the wires.

I was thinking i could go 6 inch riser with drag bars. I've got 8 inches of rise now with stock cables, brake line and wires. I've got aftermarket bars on it now.

I think the stock risers on a Softail Night Train are 6". They show up in the Forum's Classifieds every now and then.

I purchased mine from Amazon. Drag Specialties straight black risers. I got the 8" ones but I'm pretty sure 6" are available as well. Try EBay too. And I know their not really what ur looking for but have you seen the Biltwell Murdock risers?

I thought they were pretty badass the first time I saw them, but they are kinda pricey.
