Default Risers installed with Mini Apes

Hey everyone,
Looking for some guidance, I am interested in throwing on some risers with my mini apes. Just to give em' lil more heigth but not sure how tall I should go with the risers thinkin maybe 2" also I'd want to go with the straight risers? what would be some good risers I could check out.
Thanks again, I'd like to do this soon

I have 6" risors with 12" apes, it might be a little high for what you want, but the pic in my profile will give you an idea, good luck...

I've also got the custom riser (2002 -- straight, not curved like the rubbermount one), 12" apes. I like the looks just fine, but my height is maybe 2" too high. I'll be switching the riser out for a set of 3" risers which should get me just about where I want to be.

Custom Chrome makes both black and chrome straight and curved risers reasonably priced.
