I could go black or Red, but not chrome.

I used risers I got at my local Honda/Kimco dealer and the brake lines are "real" snug. Longer lines would be better. I removed the brake line bracket and they work ok. I posted some pictures on this forum last fall. He is right the riding position is much better if you have short arms. I now can sit upright, it is more comfy. I have not put the black cover back on. The stock bars are painted black and not fancy. But since I used a riser kit for a Honda 600 the bars are a standard size.

One the other side of the coin. This is a really good value. I talked to Dragon Custom and it would have cost me $125 just for the risers plus the bars, plus the skirt kit. If they had an offer like this at that time I would have seriously thought about it. Only question is will the stock brake lines work...

I paid $18 for plain 7/8 bar risers (straight up 1 1/4 inch) and drilled dents in them for the alignment pins on the stock Xciting bars. Pull the brake lines up a bit in their holders, trim the plastic cover plate a little for the throttle cable. 20 minutes total to install, and much happier.
