keep in mind your cables an brake line may be too short, your wiring for the switches too if you replace the bars. Look at those to see if there's some slack you can pull out or reroute them to get some room. those higher risers may look out of place with ape hanger style bars. the stock bars come back to you some an go up some. I'm short with a 34" shirt sleeve length an they work well for me but probably not for you. I like the look of the biltwell Frisco bars, looks like you can rotate them to bring them back or away from you to fit, an they'd look good with your risers:
Another issues is my risers are for 1 1/4" fat bars and most of the bars are 1". For example I like the sportster bars as could use those but they won't fit right? Unless I change risers
you will need 1" risers for just about all stock hd bars. Someone near you may trade that is wanting to use 1.25" bars. you could look for wild ones chubby bars or others that an use those risers. you could also look for bars with built in risers.
Just to start you could loosen the bolts and give the bars a little rotation up. Might cure it a bit. But if that doesn't work, either find yourself some apes or swap out some taller risers.
