It is hard to get a standard measurment for every riser on the market, most risers just bring your handle bars up and require you to change you wires and cables to longer ones. The only company I know that makes risers that allow you to keep your stock cbles and wires and bring the handle bars up and back (not just up) is RIVCO's FXD017 riser, they bring the handle bars up 1" and back 2" over stock. I have them on my 2006 Street Bob and I love them. I have attached an overhead pic of the risers on my bike, enjoy.........

+1 on these risers. I have them on my '11 FXDC and they turn a painful experience for me into a pleasurable one.

It's a one beer job tops.

Thanks guys! I'll take a look at those too! I think the current risers are 1 inch up and one inch back if I'm measuring correctly. Having the same height but another inch back would be great. And a one beer job doesn't sound bad at all!! May have to work slow though to stay in the garage a little longer...
