Default Not using shorty risers with apes

Odd question. Anyone running 12-14" apes and NOT using a shorty1-1.5" riser. Trying to get an idea on what that looks like.

I have 97 wide glide.

Search google image "wide glide ape hangers" and you'll get quite a few results. A lot are short risers but some look to be larger like 3-5 inch risers. Not my particular style as I have 1.5 risers with my 16s, but to each their own. I tried to attach a pic of one of the search results but lately I can't post pics on here.

I def google imaged. Just not many or good angles. Not just aesthetic reasons. Also if taller risers effect handling or even if theres less stability with high risers

Got a picture of one of my bikes fitting your need. !2 inch bars installed. Only draw back is speedo points a little down. I might buy a set of straight risers someday. This is my ride everyday bike usually short trips so not so important.

No current pics, but I just put 3in risers on my 14in bars. Looks OK.
I'll try to get a picture posted soon.

I did see that. I thought they may be 10" at first glance
