Would 15" work with like 2" risers or no?


They will probably be slightly higher than your shoulder, but there wil be other factors -- your seat / bike lowered / if you have them pushed frwd etc.. (also just get a 1 " or 1.5" riser)

I am 6 ft tall -- I have 14''s with 1.5" risers - bars are pushed frwd. Here is a pic - keep in mind in this pic I am slouching and bike is lowered 2" in rear and not yet lowered in front (is lowered now) These 14" Wild 1's run tall as well

Hey guys, just figured I'd pop in and introduce myself and my bike. It's my first bike and I couldn't be happier. Has some work done already, but still a serious work in progress.

I know it is crazy, but somehow when I see a 'close to stock' bike I think they look amazingly beautiful and brutally honest , to the point I wonder about all the madness we do .
this applies only to the FX front ends, the FL bikes look disturbingly ugly stock and modifications are a must then they start to look cool.

Long way to say, that bike looks really nice, .

I have the bike lowered yet but I am looking at doing the progressive 2" drop in kit when I take my triple trees of to have them PC'd. So you think I'll be fine with 15" and 1.5" risers?

Holy hell, this thread was stagnant for a little bit and now it's taking off again!

Welcome to the newer guys also. There's lots to learn here and some good laughs.

I've got rsd 16" king apes with 2.5" risers and they are just barely above my shoulders. And I'm 5'11" tall.

Backwoodz, I've got 14 wild 1's and they at my shoulders and im 6 feet tall...but i run a bare bones seat. If you got a fat *** touring seat you might be little low with 15's.
