Default Suggestions for new risers

Ok guys, i've narrowed my choices of apes to one of these two. I'm going with at least 18s (might make the move to 20s).

What i'm looking for now is a killer pair of risers !! gonna get them 6 inches high so i can clear my 3 inch tank lift. Anyone got any suggestions for some sweet risers??

No suggestions!,
But working in safety for my last 15 yrs at GM, the 1st set looks good but I'd hate to see, God forbid, what might happen if U ever went over the front end of the bike or in a wreck and they were bent back toward U.

Those points just look dangerous. Your choice of wording. Killer Pair of risers might mean more than U think...

They would never get pass any of our safety check-offs.
But as I said they do look cool..

With 6" risers will you get much flexing? even with poly bushings.
