Default tall risers on nightster....

hey guys i been searching but cnt seem to find any pics. i have mini apes now on stock risers and was considering drag bars for more aggressive riding. but im 6'3 so i dnt wanna lean over too far so im considering 8 or 10" risers with broomstick bars or drags or t-bars anyone have pics of this on a sporty?

I've been running cheap 6" risers painted black with harley's mini apes to find my bar height. I'm 5' 10". I'm really comfortable at that height. I have new bars on order so I can lose the risers. WOW it takes these custom shops long to produce a product. I don't like the look of the riser on a nightster. Hope the pic helps.

I plan on trying my drag bars with the stockers first and if that doesn't work out I will order a set of 4.5" risers. Can't hurt and could save you some money in the end. I also think the 6"s are kind of high for the look of the Nightster.
