Risers on Stock Speedo
Hey guys,
I recently installed the street glide 11.5 air shocks, 2 inch lowering blocks, Progressive HD spring kit with 10W oil, and the Mustang solo seat!
I have the Biltwell Keystone handlebars on the bike currently, I like the bars because they are slim and protect the bike if and when it gets knocked over by disrespectful drivers.
The problem I am facing is the reach to the bars with the new setup is far and hurting my lower back. Is there a way to install risers that will pick them up a little higher while maintaining the stock speedometer? I have invested alot into it this year and would rather avoid a new rider/speedo relocation setup right now.

What he said above, DK riser extensions. They sell different heights. You may or may not need a longer brake line depending on how high you go.
I have a set of Keystones in the garage. I bought them because of the killer looks, installed them, and took them off the same day. I'd have been crippled if I had kept them on. My lower back did not like them, and the downward angle of the grips, and reach, made them really uncomfortable for me.
Maybe riser extensions are the ticket. I think I need something with more pullback though.
Good luck.

The Sissy Bar is from HD, I picked it up from a friend for cheap!
