I don't know who makes the risers I have, as they were on the bike when I bought it. They are a 4x2 riser, and I would guess that they came from CruiserCustomizing back then as the original owner bought quite a few things from there for the bike.

I think if you are at all handy, you could save a few hundred $ by installing your own radio in a Premeux. I have their trunk and it is absolutely top notch. But you do pay dearly for every option.
The quote I got in Oct 09 was $1550 for two-tone color match with pinstripe (2008 red/black). Comes with 10" clear shield, 5" smoked shield, chrome windhield trim. Painted speaker grills with 6 1/2" speaker adapters. Options: $70 radio box. $550 for Blaupunkt stereo.
My trunk was also about $100 for shipping (DHL)

Thanks, great information. I was thinking about providing my own radio. How did the pinstrips look? I have two stripes with one stripe that is gold at one angle and changes to red if you look at it from another angle. I don't expect them to be able to come up with this same stripe but two reds that are close to the same size as original would be nice.

Wow! That is one nice looking dash. The gauges really add to the look.

I have gold pinstripes on my fairing and they match the Kawasaki stripes perfectly. If you decide to order the fairing from them Id suggest you order the radio box, it holds the radio in place and does a great job of protecting the radio from the weather inside the fairing. Then you can choose your own stereo to install.
I like it more since adding the gauges, its nice to be able to monitor the engine and makes the fairing look more finished in my opinion. I wish I would have added them a few seasons ago.

The pinstripes on my trunk are a perfect match to the bike. The Premeux stuff looks like it was done at the factory. Like I said it is top notch stuff.
