Risers Ques.?

I have a 86 XLH with 12" ape hangers. I am looking to add about a 3" rise to them (so 15" to the top of the bars). How big should the risers be that I buy. I figure 6" risers should do. Correct me if I'm wrong, but do the stock risers have a 3" drop into the triple trees. Your help would be appreciated. Thanks.

I don't think you're going to count the drop. My way of thinking is if you have 12" apes now, whatever hight of riser is going to be your overall height.

If I'm wrong, please someone correct me.

Anybody know what the average Law says about how high they can be? I know up here in Canada there is a law, but haven't asked yet?

Thanks again for the help.
