Why dont you guys like the custom risers? Apes the only reason?

Im trying to spend the least amount of money. If its not comfortable there is n reason having 500 bucks tied into it. Id like to get some wheel, hypercharger and other things but i need to make sure I can be comfortable on the bike. If i never get comfortable ill have to sell

Don't waste your money on a hypercharger. Spend it wisely elsewhere.

I lost the "c" riser and went with an 1 1/2" riser and 16's

It sounds like you need to go to the dealer and sit on a bunch of bikes and see what setup is most comfortble for you. Maybe its a combination of seat position and bars.

Didn't like the looks of it or the feel. Wanted my arms higher up and drag bars. Additionally the transition in my eyes looking down at the speedo then back up to the road took too long I felt. Now my speedo is much higher up and I have more control with the risers and drags

I like the feel of the 8" apes and the "c" risers and bar setup. I really need to drive for 30 minutes and see. I dont want anything taller than 10" apes unless I get wider forks and rake.

I like the hypercharger for the looks. Im not sorried about makin her fast. But what do you think about them?

I didnt think of that. The speedo bein closer is a plus. I would like to try to get away with riser and my bar before having to upgrade all my cables.
