Check out this guy's link. I think he did a great job on putting risers on a Road King. I found this link cuz I was thinking of raising my 12.5" apes up rather than switching to 16" apes. I decided to go with the 1.25" dia 16" apes instead but thought I'd share this link with you guys. I think you'll be as impressed with it as I was. The final product looks kinda cool too. All those chrome shapes coming together in one little area looks neat.

"Necessity is the Mother of Invention"....that guy put a lot of thought into figuring that trick out didn't he? And he wrote a great tutorial on how to do it, complete with pics.
The right handle bars make a world of difference in rider comfort, and sometimes just adding straight, or pullback risers makes a big difference.

Very Interesting. I agree alot of thought went into coming up with the procedure and it looks great.
