exactly. his "12inch rusers" would have virtually no flats and i believe cant be done. i like to see a picture too.

I don't see anything here that the OP is looking for... the only risers are 57cm wide, made from aluminum, and, besides that, slope back down, negating the rise...

Mountain bike bars are in no way bad. If they can withstand the mountain,they can withstand the street.
I recently comverted from drops to risers and I have one word, comfy. Three more words, sketchy in turns.

Last night I flipped my risers so now they're...dropped I guess. SO much more comfortable. it might just be my risers because theyre old steel MTB risers but the curve fits my hand so much better now.

No I had them on correct before but this feels so much better. We'll see how I feel in a week. I feel like an idiot with them on like that but I like the ride so whatever.
