Title: Stock Riser Inverting
Post by: Magnanimous87 on February 28, 2009, 08:41:53 PM
Just wondering if it is possible to invert the stock magna risers and spin them both 180 degrees to fit the standard drag bars.. The drag bars will have tank clearance issues if mounted as-is.. Is there anything that will prevent the risers from being mounted 180..? if there are complications i will be forced to buy new risers and im kinda on a budget!! Thanks!!

Have a question, what kind of drag bars are you mounting? I am going to put drag bars on mine as well,and same as you when money allows was going to put different risers on.

I was forced to run my risers backwards for awhile.  You may want to go with straight risers.  I would think with drag bars you will be leaning  forward.

I dont really know what kind of drag bars they are but they are 1" and i am thinking about getting the 1" riser extensions that fit in the groove of the riser and make them come up and back a bit?

I would recommend using the standard Valkrie tank not the interstate. 
I enjoy the larger tank but looks better with the standard.
Standard will give you around 6.3 gallons
Interstate will give you right at 7.0 gallons
I don't know how much it will cost.  I had it done in Irving Texas.
If you PM me I will give you their number.
You will need to get a standard Valkrie tank for them to separate the top of the tank and pan.

On the tip page it has information how to do it

If you do a search in the forum search there was somebodies information that will also do it.
