Default 12" apes fwith tall risers? Pics?

I also posted this in the general section but thought softail guys might have the info I am after. I am considering a swap on my bars to some RSD 12" vintage bars with taller risers but have no idea how it will look. I wnat the height of the bars (12") and risers combined to be near what I have now (16"). Post some pics if you have them as I cannot find any on Google.

These are 10" minis on a set of 4.5" pullback risers. Not quite 12s, but it kinda has the look. Im in the process of changin out to a set of 1.5" risers and 14" Burlys. Sorry if a couple of these pics are big.

Anubisss, don't do it, those 16" look great on your bike, although Carlini Gangsters would look better IMO, Tall bars on tall risers look odd to me. Just my .02

Don't know if this is going to happen right now. Financial situations have just changed this morning. I hate this economy. Hard to depend on anything. All the money that was saved for this has to go to something else now. So much for a Birthday gift. Oh well. Still send the pics. i want to see how this looks.
