Default lowrider handlebars

Installing Wild 1 baby apes on 2008 lowrider this weekend. Has anyone have baby apes on lowrider. Torn between keeping stock pull back risers or changing risers. Any thoughts and opinions would be great.

I have p/n 56563-95 on my '06. &nbsp\\;Harley calls then "apes" but they're not as high as what people normally call ape hangers.
&nbsp\\;
Kept the stock risers so I wouldn't have to mess with moving indicator lights,
&nbsp\\;
About the same overall hight as mini-apes would be without the risers.
&nbsp\\;
Spec say 8.75" rise, but that doesns't&nbsp\\;include risers.
&nbsp\\;
Feel a lot more comforable than stock bars.
&nbsp\\;
Had to change all cables.

I used the 4 in. pullback risers, with the 27 in. wide buck horns from my "79" lowrider on my "03" WG end of back pain.
