Not sure which risers you're talking about, but I've got the apes on mine, and I really like the way they look with this riser set-up.

Sorry. Check out my gallery. There are two pics there...

CRASH, You and I have the pullback riser (that angles back toward the rider a little). My wife's bike (white one) has the straight riser. Several people have commented that apes look funny or bad with our riser setup.

Of course it's a matter of opinion.... but I like the bars on the pull back risers... I didn't install mine for looks however.... I was trying to reach a comfort level... and have to say.... worked out just fine...
