Default Chrome risers on 2012 Wide Glide

I'm thinking of fitting chrome 6 inch risers to my 12 wide glide to give a little more height and bring the bars back towards me a bit, don't think I need to have pull back risers, the height difference with the current angle should make them come back enough for me to be comfortable. I think chrome might look better than the current black. Anyone done this or similar. Photos of the WG with chrome risers would be great if anyone has any ?

I didn't put chrome 6 inch risers, but I added 2 inch riser extensions to my 12 wide glide. I don't think 1 inch would have made enough difference for me and I'm 5'10. 2 inches puts me in the perfect position, and is way more comfortable.

For reference:


**edit**
The 2 inch extensions puts me at 7 inches. I think 8 inch risers would be even better, without getting all crazy.
