Default stock riser height on the bob?

as some of you may have read, after my new gimp acquisition, i have room for another inch in my cables so i wanna go +1 in a riser. the thing is, i don't know what the stock ones are classified as so that i can order ones that are only 1 inch bigger?

did a search but didn't find.

I just did a Gimp change. Stock to 12inch, I put the poly bushings in anda big difference in feel. The one thing that I did notice was a major increase in Handlebar vibration. I am guessing that is because of the stiff bushings. To me that is the only down fall to the poly bushing.
