Which handlebar risers?

Quick question for you Harley experts. I'm about 5' 9" and have an FXD. Looking to move back my handlebars so I can ride more comfortably. Have forward controls. Not sure how high and how much pull back I would need. Anyone got any suggestions?

Thanks,
Dave

Same for me. 4" pulbacks with sportster bars. Far back enough and the sporty bars have the perfect angle got my wrists.

Good question (I am the same height), as I have been contemplating for some time whether to go with just taller risers or z bars. I prefer to be in more of a straight up position while riding. I really like the look of z bars and I am leaning towards that one.
