Stock is 10.5" with a 1.5" riser. A 12" bar would be 1.5" taller overall.

That being said, I'm still debating on if I should go with 14" or 16" bars. I've got a Mustang seat & am 6' 4".

I think stock risers are 2.75 not sure if stock bars are 10 or 10.5 at 6'1 12 feels great I'm sure 14s would too, but 16s might be pushing it for me.

Hey, I know this is a very old thread, but I was wondering what width bars you went with for the BRCustoms on the xbones. I'm thinking of getting 36in or 38in width
