Default Ut oh! Tried some 18's...
Bought a set of 3.5 inch risers so I could see (cheaply) how 18 inch apes would feel. Currently have 16's on a stock riser (2 inch). Feel pretty dang good! Unfortunately I HATE the way taller risers look with apes. Looks like youre trying to get by with something. So I'll hafta start saving the pocket change for a new set of Carlini's!

Anyone need a set of 3.5 inch straight risers...?

(I got so many mods going on, Like I need ANOTHER one...)

Just thinking out loud but 16's on top of 2" risers would give you 18" overall rise.

Oh ya, I agree with the math. Not necessarily talking 18" overall rise, just 18" bars on my current risers. It'll be +2" to what I have now.

18's would be sick! And if your going to do it, Carlini's are the way to go!
