Default should i keep the risers

hi all, i have decided to go for it i want to go with taller bars on my 01 wg at the moment i have the standard mini apes with 4.5" risers and to be honest i like the look of the risers. would you put 16 or 18" apes onto these risers i think they would look fine or would you dump them and just fit the tall apes.

I agree. Short risers for tall bars, tall risers for flat/drag bars. Just looks better to me.

I had 4's on my 8 inch baby apes on my sportie. Worked perfectly and looked pretty good as far as I was concerned.



1.5's with the 10 inch baby apes on my Wide Glide



Pretty happy with the look and feel of both options.

I agree with most of the previous posts....short risers, tall bars. Apes and tall risers looks like you didn't plan your mod well ....in my opinion.
