Default 14" Burly Narrow Apes / Street bob / risers?

Planning to install 14" Burly Narrow Apes on my 2016 Street Bob. I believe the stock bars are 10" and stock risers are 2". Any thoughts on keeping or losing the risers?

I am planning to replace cables as needed, so that shouldn't be a consideration.

Keeping or losing the risers depend on 1- Do you like the height 2- Looks

I got rid of them when I installed 12" bars and put on RSD Nostalgia because they were half inch shorter and look much better

Keep them. They are actually 1.5. I just got mine powdercoated black with my 14 apes.

low risers with apes look the best. Most aftermarket risers are 2+. The harley risers are pretty solid compared to aftermarket. Make sure you get some harley poly riser bushingswhile your at it. The rubber stock ones make higher bars wobble. Get the harley ones...I made the mistake and got arlen ness crap. The harley ones are clear bushings and suprisingly also high quality .

IMHO spend the little extra on some niceafter market risers, it will really set it off nicely and you'll admire them from the seat always.

I have these risers I was using with my 14" narrow apes for sale. They are either the same height as the stock OEM risers or about the same.
