Default Ape Hanger risers or pullback risers?
Just ordered 16in.Ape hangers for my 2023 Harley Breakout. Comes with 4in. Pullback riser. Wanta go with 2in. Riser, and wondering If straight riser better for my 6'4" frame. Putting on a quick release windshield too!
Thanks for any insight!

I have 12" apes on a 1" straight riser and honestly don't think two inches on your risers are going to make enough difference if they are 'pullback' or straight. I personally don't care for the look of pullback risers, but go with the straight and want to angle back more, just rotate your bars back some, or if pullback risers, rotate forward some if they put you back too far.

That's my 2 cents.
