Default Sizing apes

Anyone know how to size(measure)apehangers?want to "make" a set in welding wire to see how they will sit on my bike but when I look at other guys rides with say a 12 inch rise they always look way bigger,where do you measure the rise from,is it the end of the bend or the overall height of the bars,also if I fit bars with 10.5 centre widthand low chubby risers will the bottom bend of the bars hit my tank on full lock,only asking cos a lot of guys seem to fit high bars with 4" and up risers...any comments/advice much appreciated

If you have the 08 HD catalog takea look at page 618. It has a diagram of where the measurements are taken from.
