Such a good looking bike... even though I am a 21" advocate... I really liked your bike with the 16" front. Damned if you do, damned if you don't. Still one of the best on the site for sure.

I went with a 1.5" riser to keep the bars as low as I could (again, trying to hold true to a 1935 RL look). I too have the White Bros. bars. Understand, slow speed maneuvering is easier due to the leverage you get with the wider bars, however with the springer seat I have to move my leg out of the way.
I made my own extensions and added 6 inches to the wires. I HIGHLY recommend the extension kit. Life is soo much easier with it. More is better than not enough!!! To get the wires through the bars I fed kite string into the wire exit hole (behind risers) then I used a vacuum cleaner to suck the string out the dimples near the hand controls. I tied off one of the wires in the bundle then taped all of them together to keep the bundle conical for ease of installation. Are you familiar with de-pinning the wire connectors under the tank?
Hope that helps a little.
I do love em though!!

Hey guys. Wanted to introduce myself. I've been hanging out in the Night Train thread. Just bought a 2012 Vivid Black Deluxe. Don't get to see it until September though as I'm stuck over in Afghanland. Picked up a few parts though... Carlini gangster apes, 33" Samsons, Softbrake kit, and Shotgun Shock to start with.

HAHA funny coming from you. LOL. I've noticed a lot of beautiful bikes over here. And I can' believe it with the money. Had buyers remorse yesterday after I bought all those parts, and still have a lot to go. I think next will be taking the front end apart for powdercoat and a set of wheels and tires. But that might be a winter project for me.
