i preffer the short risers. as for the cables and lines i use palling wire. it holds a good form and is easy to run the way i want things. when i get the look i'm looking for cut and measure and look in the fat book for the closest match.

If you go with anything less than a 16"s you will be kicking youself for not going bigger.
