His bike is a '98. A little different than '04 and up.

 

Yep, mine is a 98. Hey guys, I realize that some people like the look of the stock risers, and some don't like risers at all. For me, I am building it the way I like, and very happy with it so far. That's the beauty of sportsters, so easy to make them your own, and we all have different tastes.

 

That's exactly what I was gonna say.

 

Couldn't stand it when I bought it. First thing I changed.

Here it is now.

 

I used to like it with my 32" drag bar, but now I am in the process of removing it...overall I think is a nice part (keeps all these cables well hidden), it is Custom's trademark, I used to get nice compliments from fellow sportster riders about that riser - speedo part...but after two years, it is time for change...

 

yeah they're *****, when i bought my nightrain the 6" risers never even made it out of the stealers door...swopped em for 1" n wider bars

 

I've got the curved backbone setup on my '06 custom and hate it. I like the straight riser look best. With the curved setup, allows very little room for a tank lift and imo, looks plain as@ stupid.

 

I have an '06 with the "pullback" riser too, I think it looks OK since I put on drag bars, looked weird with the stock bars. On the other hand, I don't think I could run the drags and be comfortable without some kind of pullback, so I'm living with it for now.

I do think the curved riser on the rubbermounts looks even worse with apes, it puts a weird angle in there between the bars and the forks.

 

Yep, that's what I have. I am in the process of installing some 1 1/4", 11" rise, 8 3/4" pull back mini apes on there now. I will see how it looks after I get them installed. Also, while I'm at it, I think I'm gonna try a front signal relocate. I will try to get some pics.
