I've got 2 inch riser extensions on right now. That's as tall as my clutch and front brake line will let me go. I eventually want to put a set of 12" mini apes on it.

I had 5" risers stock that I added the 2" risers to. I'm 5'8" and while it is a huge improvement I think 2 more and it would be perfect. When you go up it also moves the bars closer to you due to the angle of the steering stem.
