Cool Risers aren't cutting it

Putsome 4 inch risers on my sb w stock mini ape handlebars and they don't look right. Think I need some higher handlebars instead and just use the stock 1inch risers. However I do like the height I got w the risers. 2 questions. What size handlebars should I b looking for. Ie. 14 or 16? Secondly, what brands do u suggest. Looking for 1inch diameter and chrome. One more. What's a fair deal for these? I think I want ape hangar style. Thanks as always.

i just did that same mod, with the pullback riser right? while i agree it doesnt look the best it sure put the bars in a better spot for me.

stock risers are 1.5" I believe. probably want 14" apes.

I sometimes use a tool bag (for my gloves) mounted to my 6” pull back risers to ‘hide’ that odd look.

I think you've figured out the important thing. Tall bars=short risers, short/drag bars=tall risers. I think 16" apes are Too tall, but I'm not really into apes in the first place. If you like them, 16's would probably be right for you.

16" Flying Apes (I actually like these)



14" Wild 1 chubbys



The pics came from Google, but are member's bikes here.
