Default Stock risers...
I have the 2010 wide vibe/glide. I guess I'm kind of short because I feel like I have to lean a little bit to get to the handle bars and my lower back gets a little sore. I have a little bend in my elbows but not a lot. I was thinking about getting risers that would bring the bars back a little bit but I'm not sure how to measure what I think I would want? Any suggestions? My friend has some risers that pull back on his bike that are black and they would be perfect but he doesn't know where they came from!!!

These folks might be able to help you.

I run 9.5" risers with a bend at the top and it feels pretty good but I'm putting on some black bars that are wider with a little more pull back.

Good idea Dr. V-Twin! I will ask him to measure, his are pull back risers with a slight bend, I don't want them straight up and down and I don't want the distinct corner...I like the ones that are smooth, tall, and a bit rounded. I will even take pictures!

I had the same problem and I put these on. I used the 4" ones and I didnt have to change any of the cables.

I also used these. Just to dress it up a bit.

Ok here are the pictures...they are almost 7 inches long, I might want them a little longer but if the cables become an issue I guess I can go with 7 since that is better than what I have now. I want them in black though...and I would probably buy that fancy little riser cap dealio...my current risers are 6 inches with no pull back.
