I just have not been able to find a good picture of them installed.

I was also wondering if anyone has just tried some one inch handlebar risers under them.

I haven't ridden one yet, but sitting on one at my local Buell dealer, Eastern HD, who doesn't give demos, they felt and looked nice, but just a bit too low for an old timer like me.

Thanks

Jon,
Are you thinking of getting one?

Dreaming is sort of more like it.

I am trying to convince myself that I already have a better version of a Buell Cafe Racer, and that the last thing I need is to spend a lot of money on a bike that is too fast, too expensive, harder for me to fix, and less attractive than my current ride, which has over fifty mods including full Ohlins suspension, chain conversion, clubman's bars and an original fatlet Drummer.

On the other hand...........

It is a very attractive bike, and they seem to have most of the bugs worked out.

However, any reasonable sixty-eight year old should probably be thinking more about selling his motorcycles than buying a new one, am I right?

So, I guess the short answer to your question would be "maybe".

Best money I've spent. Great conversion. I think these should be the stockers!

Just a suggestion, there are other bars (aftermarket) that have the "fat" center section and taper down to 7/8" at the end.

That looks comfy , I will be changing mine out next summer . Spent to much money allready on this bike and i don't think the Wifey would appreciate me spending the extra money right now .

For me, they sit just perfect. No need for any more rise.

I'll highly recommend it.

Funny Jon. They make a liquid cooled version on Lil Blackie and you want to put risers on. Bout time you started acting 20 years less your age!

Love the bar end mirrors! Do the stock clutch and brake lines work with the new bars?

That is correct. That is also what complicates the install.
