Reckless fairing/ 1600 riser fix

If you recall from my earlier thread and as most of you know, the Phat II risers won't work with the Reckless fairing with a stereo installed. After long investigation I ordered a set of HD 6.5" pull back risers.
When they came I found that they curved back well enough to clear the marine cover on the stereo, but would hit the speedo nacelle. So, the solution was to raise the new risers up 1" and the clearance is good now. The new risers also put a little too much tension on the brake lines than I was comfortable with. So I took the top tree off and re routed the lines and wire harnesses on the front side of the tree. Then I secured all the hoses and lines so little to no interference takes place during turns.
I was just happy that I was able to adapt risers to work with the Reckless fairing because I couldn't live without pulling back the handlebars.
As far as the spacers go, they take a 1/2" bolt because the HD risers are secured with a 1/2 bolt. I had to ream out the tree holes from 3/8 to 1/2" but that was no problem. As well, I had to use a 12point head bolt to secure the risers from underneath because a standard 6 point head interferes with the neck assembly and you can't get a wrench or socket on it. So, after all the parts were acquired the reassembly went very smooth.
The other adaptation was spacing out my driving lights. That only took 4 new 8mm bolts along with 4- 10mm spacers. This allows the re&re of the front section of the fairing as well as no contact from the driving lights.
