I'm thinking about 6"-8" off both the riser portion and the grip. I have to start mocking up the front end now to prevent clearance issues

Had some time to play with the bars.
cut one side and made reference points.
Image
Image
Found the angle then transferred it to the other side. Same thing with the grips. tacked em' up and welded.
Image
Image
Double or single? The bars will be dropped some more and have receivers for the tops of the springs.

I like this fender. That rib compliment the lines of the bike.
