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 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)
