I dont like seeing any riser, so get the bar you need (16 inch) and the shortest riser to mount your bars. Just my opinion.

I HAD 12 inch apes, and 4 inch risers on my WG, changed it out after an accident to 1 inch
risers and 16 inch apes, to me it looks better and is much more stable IMO

I'm thinking about keeping the 4" stock risers and hangin 10" mini apes. I like the vintage look and at 6'3" that would be a comfortable riding position.

well you guys are all in the same direction I guess.
Find It hard to choose in front of a damn screen.
It pisses me off because I got 8" 1" risers and the stock 5" 1.25 risers

(Had bought a drag bar 8" rise to end up that i'm even more bent on the front then stock)

I have kind of wondered myself what it would look like as well. I have black mini apes on my bike and thought about 4" or risers. After reading this, prolly not.
