well there is a small difference between a shop building a custom 1 off and using tall risers and apes. there are times where it does look in proportion. For the most part the average joe who is not matching the rest of the bike lines with a tall riser and ape hanger line. it usually looks out of place

The taller risers look better with the springer front end so...

Just say no to tall risers and apes, unless it's a springer then you can say ok.

Gotta agree, risers ruin the look!! Looked at my 13"+3" risers for months and wandered why it looks like ****, factory risers would look alot better! Winter project!
