Default Bar and riser question

I need to replace the riser on my 05 Dyna Lowrider... I would like to put just a straight 1" riser on instead of the stock pullback (like the look of straight riser better). I love the riding position that the stock set up gives me, so, the question is... what type of bar and riser combo would give me a very similar position to stock but with a normal riser.

I tried that.
The 1" riser makes the riser cap line up below the dash, it does not look right, I went back to the stock 4" pullback. You would need taller, maybe 2.5 or 3" riser.
In the end I wound up wanting a bar I didn't have to reach for because of using a backrest for touring and I bought a Harley touring handlebar part# 56557-95, it has more rise than stock but still does not look like a wide beach bar, it might work for you on a straight riser. You'll need longer cables with it though, the electric wires will reach after being re-routed.
I used a webpage that I cannot find now that lists the Harley handlebars and measurments for comparison.

Good luck,
Mike

PS: If you have to try the 1", I have two sets.

I studied it long and hard to find a bar that had a little more pullback than the stock Lowrider but not overly wide.

im runnin Carlini Piston risers on my deluxe. They are approx 1 1/2-2 inches tall. I currently have straight broomstick drag bars on the bike but am switchin to a drag bar with a little pullback

With that height riser it puts you in a very leaned forward=drag position.

attached are some pictures of the bars and risers

I understand my bike is a softail and you were askin about a dyna but this will let you see a 1-2 inch riser

Does anyone know exactly how much pullback the stock pullback risers give on the lowrider?
I found a set of Flanders bars that might just do the trick but they are damn expensive and I want to make sure they are going to come far enough back with a straight riser.
Here's a link to the bars I'm looking at... I think the G5 is the ticket
