Default Stock Deluxe Risers and new Bars

I have an idea but need pictures if any one has had the same thought. My thought was 10 or 11" apes on my 07 Deluxe using the Stock Risers. I am trying to adjust my riding posture so I am not sitting so straight (back problems) with this combo it looks like I could adjust the Bars to accommodate any seat I made go to in the future. If any one has other ideas please share them I hope with pictures.

In my opinion it looks better if you do 1.5" risers and 14" bars.......

DXHD Isn't sitting more straight better for a person with a back problem? I am going to put 4" pullback risers on so that I can sit more upright. Leaning into the wind makes my back sore.

Stock deluxe risers will work with taller bars but you might need to chage out your riser bushings for some stiffer ones or you will have some movement with your new taller bars. Plus if your concerned about looks it may not look right IMO, but hey it's your football do what works for you.

you would think but I am 6'2" I picked the Deluxe because of my injuries the same accident got my left Knee (Man made now) the riding position I am concerned with is on long trips which I have by bag to lend against.

Here are a few pics I found on the forum to give up a better idea. I just went with 1.5 risers and 12.5 wild 1's on mine and they fit me like a glove.
