Default Heritage with Apes. Should I?

Hey guys,&nbsp\\; Just picked up my Heritage from Marsh here on HDF,&nbsp\\; Thinkin about Apes.&nbsp\\; Nothing too big, But just enough to notice.&nbsp\\; And something to compliment this sweet looking scoot,&nbsp\\;&nbsp\\; Any ideas??&nbsp\\; something that will be comfortable for quick trips and maybe some longer runs

If you don't want to go too extreme you can go with 12.5".&nbsp\\; They are comfortable for short or long trips and tall enough that people notice.&nbsp\\;

I've been thinking about 14's,&nbsp\\; Not too big but big enough,&nbsp\\; If I want them bigger,&nbsp\\; I can just add taller risers,&nbsp\\; The only problem though is that I currently have&nbsp\\;Screamin Eagle Fatboy bars on the bike with the tach built into the riser clamp.&nbsp\\; And the risers are 1 1/4"&nbsp\\; Would I just be able to add taller lower risers?
