Sorry, I think apes on tall pullback risers just looks out of place but I've seen a few who have done it. Straight risers look best in my opinion.

i put them on my 06 1200c , and agree they look a little funny with pull back riser but much more comfy , im gonna get the straight ones when funds allow me there about 275.00 for the same style riser but straight.

If you like the riser/speedo mount combo thats cool or for much less you could do a setup like I did withmy 06 1200Cshown below...

Stock riser with 6-inch "apes." 10-inch would have been too high on the '04-'07 riser for me. This is so much more comfortable to ride with than theoriginal set.

I think I like the look of the straight setup. Do you find that your sitting up straighter Capttawes ? What does that setup cost to complete ?
