It depends on how tall your talkin'. If you mean a little taller than stock, you might be OK. 2-4 inch risers with apes look fine. If you mean 8 or 10 inch risers...... that would really look awful.

Heres some 4 inch risers with 14 inch bars:


Some 4's with buffalo mini apes:

Thanks! I was talking 3-4" risers (as oppossed to < 2" risers). Clearly anything higher would look absurd, but wanted to see how far it could be pushed...
