12" bars what size risers look best?

I have the 4.5" and 1.5" risers for my new 12" Biltwell bars to fit on my 09 FXDL but cant decied the risers to use. Trying more for the look then ride comfort.

Personally, I think that apes on taller risers look funny. If it were me, Iw ould go with the 1.5 inchers...

I vote for the 1.5" ones also and my opinion means the most to me.

I dont care for tall risers with apes as well. I am running 1.5" risers on my 12" bars.

Yea, I like the 1.5" rise as well, but I have the low rider with the idiot lights in the riser. am going to try and design something so I can move the lights from the riser so I can use my small risers that i have.

Thanks

I have 1-1/2" risers and 10" mini apes. I may have been able to get away with 2" risers as my bars are 1-1/2" diameter. I do agree that taller risers look fugly with apes...
