Default Heritage handlebar riser

Howdy,
I'd like to add maybe 3-4" handlebar riser to my 19 FLHC. This is my first Harley so I'm unsure where to look. I'm assuming I'll need extensions for wiring and possibly a longer clutch cable. Can anyone please point me to the best place to purchase? My back and neck are killing me from hunching over so much! Gotta get my back and shoulders more upright. Thanks for any help!

Edit: I'm about 5'10" 145lbs.

You already have a 2" riser, so you should look for a 6" riser. I did this one for my wife, and it's perfect for her.

Hey thanks for that info! I love the bars except for the height. Maybe if I could find a bar with the exact same ergonomics but with more height that might work too. Not sure where to start with that either. I'll keep looking at options thanks!

Looks like the stock rise is 10". These 14" look like the stock bars but 4" higher. Might be the ticket. BARS

Those are factory stock OEM Heritage bars on my wife's bike. If you like your bars but not the height, look into a 4" riser. And BTW, she's 5' 6" and a buck twenty ish

Default Bad Posture by Design

I’ve never understood why motorcycle manufacturers can’t build a bike with pull back handlebars. I get so tired of the hunched over posture. Ride 25 miles and the back of the shoulders just ache.
On the other hand, sitting upright with bent arms is pure pleasure. Right now I’m buying medium ape hangers for another bike to solve this problem. The apes will be tilted back at a good angle for extreme comfort riding.

I got the wiring extension kits from HD and had a front brake line made locally.
