Default 6" risers?

I've seen 6" risers on that white sporty with the 4.5 gallon tank, but have not seen any on the peanut tank. Does anybody have 6" risers and a peanut tank, if so, can you post or direct me towards pictures?

Mine just came in and I want to see what it looks like before I go through the trouble of splicing all of my wires for the extra 2". I also have a new speedometer housing that is attached to the top clamp and mounts above the bars. I'm going to a straight riser because I hate the way the speedometer looks standing straight up like morning wood with the pullback risers. I also have 4" straight risers on the way just in case I don't like the 6".

Any help or comments appreciated.

Is that what you are looking for? I am not sure if you can find a bracket that will mount both your speedo and rpm below the handlebar. I do think the 4 inch riser looks better on the peanut tank but again you never know.

Mine measure 8", swept back slightly. And I have the peanut tank. I like the look.

I have some pictures of some bikes from off this website..... i'll try to find them and see what will help you....

I'm also looking to make that kind of change too..........

I was told that if i change to the curved risers that i can possiblly get a diferent bracket(if they make it)..... or possibly softly hand hammer the original one stragiht....(this of course depends on the metal)

any info you get pleaase share with me..... maybe we can help each other......
