So they attach to the top of the riser the riser bolts to the top triple tree if the riser is 6" high there would be more leverage than if the riser was 1.5" long not simple math but common sense.
And they still look ****

Not at all for your information I have a degree have been to uni have run a very successful company as its CEO for 11 years with 160 people reporting to me in the UK and its an American company.
So I dont think I am stupid or thick which I guess is what you are suggesting I think my logic is correct the longer the bar the more leverage is fact long risers more leverage.To turn the nut on a bolt, torque is required but not pressure. Torque is defined as the moment of force. If a force F is applied at the end of a wrench and r is the distance of the point of application of force from the nut then torque acting on the nut is given by T = r X F. Thus torque can be increased by increasing the force F or by increasing r. Since you cant increase the force with your hands, the only way to increase the torque is by increasing the distance r. Thus by adding a pipe to the free end of the wrench and by applying the maximum possible force at the free end of the pipe, you can increase the torque. And you are still to explain how it makes them more rigid so come on explain.
Oh and IMO all those pics posted by Bone11B some great looking bikes but would look better with short risers LOL

That would be a nice post my friend but you are leading my to a different subject.You can torque all you want but with rubber bushings there is still play. So a properly torqued a 4 " rise is as solid and a 1.2" rise. Now to the point. You torque the pinch bolts on the riser. Will it be easier to move the handle bar in the riser with a 12" bar or a 16" bar? And you are right about Bone 118 pics. No rise when using less then 1 1/4" bars. Then it looks like a skinny girl with big knees.
