Default Riser Help

I feel like i'm reaching for my bars on my 09 Super Glide. I have a Mustang Wide Touring seat with back rest. I have been having lower back pains and noticed that I was pretty much sitting on the top of the seat bun. I tried the seat with the back rest and it kinda forced me to sit down into the seat and use the backrest for support. While this helped my back problems for the most part (still feel like the seat is pushing on my some but hoping that will get better after breaking in or I lose some weight). But what this seating in and back in the seat has done has made me feel like I'm reaching for my bars. I think the Rivco FXD017 would be perfect but at $160 has given me pause. Has anyone done something on the cheap that brought the bars back without messing with the speedo mount angle?
