Default Ape & Riser questions for Deluxe

Looking to put 16 inch apes on my 06 deluxe from hill country customs and was wondering what risers should I use. Any help would be appreciated

I have 1.5" HD risers on mine with 16" wild 1s from HCC. It depends on what you want as far as riser length.

The 16's will look good with a short riser.

Thanks everyone for the info. I guess what I'm looking for is the best 1 to 2 inch riser. It will hold 16inch HCC apes. Prices/Pics would be appreciated.

1 1/2" risers with 16" Chubbies from HCC. Love them. I had 12.5" chubbies before these. Not sure which risers are on there as they were on the bike when I got it.
