Hi,
Good to see you have joined the Springer club..
I have the same 2008 Springer as yours, 3" risers will only work if you remove the tachometer. You can see the riser extensions under the risers, they are there to allow the tacho to be fitted. You can remove the 1" extensions, but the headlight will touch the tacho..
The 2009 model does not have the riser extensions fitted, this is the reason a tachometer was not installed at the factory on the 2009 model.
The HD CVO Springer is a great bike, I have owned all three CVO Springers (2007,2008 and 2009). I sold the 2009 and still have the 2007 and 2008 models. I actually fitted a tachometer on the 2009 model that I owned, and I had to fit the riser extensions to make it work.
The 2008 model in particular is a great bike. There are only a few genuine Ozzie CVO Springers in this Country as "gmeikle" has suggested. I would say around 20-30 of each Model.
Enjoy you new ride!, If you need to know anything about your bike at all, give me a yell..
I am just about to do quite a few performance upgrades to mine, actually taking them out to 113ci (1,850cc).
I have attached a photo of my bike for you.
Regards
Geoff
