Default What Risers?

I have a 2006 Low Rider that I am going to be putting some stock Street Bob handlebars on. What size risers should I get? Any pullback?
Any help would be appreciated. Thanks

Scott

Depends on your taste.

Any risers for 1" handlebars will work. Most people agree that apes and mini apes look best as close to the top clamp as possible, but some people prefer some pull back for comfort.

My .02, Mock em up without, push em back and forward, and see how you like it. people on here ride with all different size risers though. it's really a personal choice

I hear ya about personal choice. I got the Low Rider because it was a great price and I liked it. Then some buddies and I went up to the local HD and I sat on a Street Bob and it felt perfect.
What size are the OEM risers on a Street Bob?
Thanks,
Scott

Since no one can give you a direct answer, I will.

Get 4 1/2 straight risers.

This is IMO if you are putting apes of any height on the risers should be as low as you can get away with as they just dont look right on tall risers like i said this is IMO only.
