Very different styles you're talking about. How about a picture of your bike and then we can chime in? I personally run 16" Wild1Chubbys on 2" risers :-)
Hey Bud,
I just put on new bars. I did a custom 17in narrow bottomed 1in bar with the stock risers. With my lower profile seat, my hands sit right about eye level. I have the bars in line with the forks and it is comfortable.
if you use stock risers on our new apes...you should use good n tight bushings. they will make your stock risers more solid.
if you go with the wild 1 stubby risers....they are rigid mount. no bushings at all. just a screw. they are rock solid. this is what im running. i love them
