Road 6 Customs. Quality work...great price. I went with 12"...slightly higher than stock. Don't like Apes that are too high.

I put a set of Wild 1 16" Black Apes (W0569) on mine. After trying every trick in the book to keep them from slipping, got the Wild 1 risers too. The stock MOCO's are made of metal that is just not strong enough to hold 16" Apes. My only bitch about the Wild 1 risers is that they are stubbies. About an inch shorter than stock. Other than that, they are rock freakin solid. Also, they are direct bolt ons. No bushings. Had switched over to poly's on the stock risers. I was surprised that I couldn't tell that much difference in handle bar vibration, if any at all. Dealt with the dudes at Wild 1 directly. Straight up people. Answered any questions and offered plenty of help. Would deal with them again, no complaints.

Carlini Evil apes for Springer with Wild 1 risers here. Best setup ever! First I had Todd's cycles bars which broke, and two sets of Harley Stock risers I finally found heaven.

I would look into a company called vindikta, http://www.vindikta.com/ Joe(owner) owns a crossbones. He makes custom bars, great customer service. He's based out of Soouthern Cali.
