Default FXSTS Riser Stock Height

I have the 1998 Harley parts manual for softails and the FSM but I cannot find this dimension. What is the stock riser height for a 1998 or so FXSTS?

I have a set of 93 stock risers and bar I could measure.. but no clue if it’s consistent to 98.

They would probably call that a 3" and the part number would indicate the same ones were used from at least '89-up

R2M, measure to the bottom of the cradle.

I’d wait to see if anyone confirms these are OEM. I think they are but there is no part number I can find. I’d think HD would cast a part number into it.

From what I could see here
https://shop.suburbanharley.com/oem-...482f8bf5bd2c/y
#16 is your standard 1 in riser, #17 is a 2 up 2 back riser and #21 looks like a 2.5 in riser.
