What do you think of this riser?
« on: October 30, 2024, 06:24:08 AM »
Had this riser kicking around from a v star classic. I kinda dig it. It is big and aggressive looking. What do you all think? It is a 1" riser but I have the adaptors coming to make them 7/8".

I wouldn’t modify the top triple without a backup plan, but if it fits and is secure, why not?
intrigued by the wail...seduced by the scream.

I once had to feed the wires for the switches on a 750K3 down thru bars that looked just like those.
It took me 3 days...
