Default WG stock riser length

How long are the stock risers on an 07 WG?

2 inches? So, if I replace them with 4 inch risers, am I only really adding two inches because the oem's are already 2 inches? Wondering how much I can go before I'd have to replace lines and hoses.

Thanks, amigos!

Adding up to 3" should not be a problem. I know it was not on my 05. Unbolt your bars and raise them up and see how much slack you have. You should be able to determine this with an extra pair of hands and a thick towel on your tank, just in case.

Default Riser

Not sure if they changed to 2" for the '07 but the '02 is definitely 1.5". I swapped out to 3.5" with no problems.

I'm 5-11 with "long" arms: 34 inch sleeves. At least I think that's long. My knuckles usually drag on the ground when I walk.
