Default Mini apes best risers?
I'm getting ready to install some burly 12in mini apes. My question is what is the best risers to use. I was thinking that only about a 1 inch riser or so. Any advice would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks for the great advice...🙄what I meant was what has anyone else used with theirs. I have seen many options but none staying what they are using and where to get them.

I just bought, but have not installed them yet, some 2" LA Choppers risers from Revzilla for a little over $70. They get good reviews.

Default Cut riser
After going through my options this was the cheapest and easiest way to go. I took 2-1/2" off the riser, re-drilled, taped. fits perfect.

I've been running tock ones for years and they work just fine for me. any riser that fits your bars and looks appealing will be just fine.
