Bars or Risers 1 Year, 2 Months ago  
So, I just picked up a WOC Fairing (Thanks efcoleman), but alas my stock risers with RoadKing bars won't work... Oh the joys of modified bikes right!
Now I have to decide whether to go with new bars (stock or otherwise) or perhaps new risers.
Thoughts/suggestions, and of course pics of what you are rolling, are very very welcome!
Cheers!

Risers are easy to install and a little easier on the pocket.

I just ordered a set of 4" risers/3.5"(?) pullback w/ stock bars. They are perfect and the best part is it only cost $35

I think you might need new cables with that. I have 2" pullbacks i reworked them, but didn't seem to have much more slack
