The risers are right out of the P&A catalog. No cable change necessary.
I had them powder coated gloss black.

hope this helps,

I am not sure I am loving them with the style of my bike. I usually dig the whitewalls, but I am not 100% sure.

The bars and exhaust don't go with the whitewalls.

Agreed. Although I think a lot of it is the pipes. Probably go back to black after I wear these out.

Very nice colour on the bike. Why not just put the stock exhaust back on for now, with some nice original look slip-ons. That would really tie it all together nicely. Then when the tires wear out, you can go back to the original look that you had, unless you like the new look better.

I think I will just run as is. I have only had this bike 4 months of winter and still put 3,000 miles on it. I ride a lot with my club so I will probably need new tires again by October anyway.

But I do agree with you. Even though all the ladies who have seen it do love it, but what do they know about bike styling anyway. JK

Bike looks great. You really have to try pretty hard to make a Slim look bad. I can hardly wait for mine.

You are right about that. To me, the Slim is the best "In Stock Form" motorcycle that MoCo makes. Even small changes make for big differences in looks. Hope you get yours soon. tp dd50

Still considering one myself. The only change I would make is a better/more comfortable seat.

I think it would look better if the bike was black. It still looks good. The bars are not an issue. The exhaust pointing down isn't my thang but it does not look bad.
