im running the 16s with 4 inch risers. feels good, looks even better, and not to high, right at shoulder height. now would be the time to run your wire through the bars, pretty easy really, just get some solder and shrink tubing, you will have to remove your gas tank. it is a different feel than stock bars but worth the looks. not how fast you get there but how good you look doing it.

I have 16's with 2.5in risers and mine is rock solid. I have never had a wobble and I've had mine over 100mph. I can set the throttle lock at 75mph and take my hands off the grips for as long as I want. I have always ran apes, but now I'm riding a 08 Geezer Glide which I love, but I really miss the apes.
