Default fat bob riser ?

i like the black risers on the fatbob are they for 1 1/4 bars?
and what is the height on them?
i want to go with 16" apes on my streetbob but once i get new risers i think it might be to high. so im wondering if i should get 14" apes if the fatbob risers are 2 inches(which is my guess what height they are). im 5'10" and i was thinking 16 would be a good height but if i want to get new risers and they make it 2" taller i think it might be tooo much.
let me know if you have any info
thanks

There is a link with a Fat bob and mounted apes on it. Alot of peps thought it looked funny with the tall risers and apes. Will say that the FBob bars are 1-1/4". Will look for that post for ya.

I also saw the pics of that Fat Bob and thought it looked strange with apes. I feel like those riser are more for drag bars. I prefer shorter risers similar to stock height for apes. Just my opinion.

Glad I could point you away from the direction you were going. Usually, I talk a drunk friend into scoring with the ugliest chick in the bar and laugh later. But can't do that in your case. Best of luck with the risers. If you don't take JRK's option. I'll keep my eyes open for something for 1-1/4"
