Default Street Bob Risers

I was wondering you guys' opinion on risers for a Street Bob? Something like this below. Wanted to go a little higher and this seems easier than switching out bars. Has anyone done these and pros and cons? I would love the look of some 16" but just don't think that will be too comfortable for distance.

Yea I had LA Chopper brass risers (1 1/2") on my SB. Selling them now because after a couple weeks on the bike I felt it was a bit too much 'bling' for my bike and the look I'm going for. (I also have RSD brass grips so it was just too much to me) So I went with RSD risers in black. I prefer the look of dual risers over the Harley 'block' style. Of course you are looking for a higher riser than what I went with.

You don't mention what year Bob you have. These are for the integrated risers they used 2009-2011?. I have these (2") risers on my bike with 14" bars. I've had them for about 4 years and haven't had any problems.

It's a 2011 with stock mini apes. I figured these would be an easy install and didn't want to go to high.

Anyone know what handle bars are on the RSD risers in the picture? I like the crossbar.
