That looks so much better and good to know the temps dropped so much. I made my own tank lifts and will be putting them on this week, ging with 2" front and 1 or 1.5" rear so it dosent mess with fuel mileage as much. I'm also going to get the riser extensions but probably will go with 2" as my bars are already 8" t-bars.
What the height of your bars now?

Just installed the DK 3" risers on the LRS. j0ney3 you're right; they fit - barely. I needed the extra height, as I just installed a LePera Dayton daddy long legs seat, which pushed me back away from the bars. Got the leg room I needed, but it changed my reach. The 3" risers are just what I needed. DK guys are great BTW.

I've just put 2.5" risers on my low rider s too and even though I have used a 5" bolt which is as tight as I can get it the bars seem to have a little bit of play in them, I think it's the dampers and now the bars have more leverage and weight but has anyone else here noticed this after installing risers?

DK 3" risers; DK 2" tank lift. Road yesterday after the 2" tank lift install, and my head temperatures (HT) were reading 260 -275. The day before (same weather conditions) without the tank lift head temps were around 300. I'll continue to nerd about the HT, and might consider the LJ mighty mites if HT rise to 300 during the hotter temps in summer. Anyone else monitoring HT with the 117?
