Default Risers

Ok guys I'm looking to change the location of my handlebars l like the stock bars but would like to have them a little closer currently have 4" risers and it looks like it will take 7" ones to reach the desired location the catch is I don't want them to be much higher if possible just closer back to me so I can lean back and relax a bit more any suggestions would be appericated

You don't think they'll look stupid with that much pullback from the riser?

I know a couple of guys that run the 6" pullback risers from HD with stock cables and they like them.

Which 4" risers do you currently have?

I think the stock ones are considered 2". You can try the hd 4" or 6" pullback risers for a little more withouth breaking the bank.

I run the 6 inch HD risers on my Fat Bob, made it much more comfortable and they are reasonably priced.
