Default bar riser or just back?

Does anyone know of bar risers that just move the bars back with limited rise?
I am short, 5-7 and like the height, but I am reaching, so I would like to just get 'bar-risers' that just come back 1-2".
Can the OEM risers be rotated to come back a little, looks like it?
Thx.

ROX makes a set of rotating risers that they say will pull the handlebar back by up to 2".

Funny you ask.. I have had the HD Risers for about 2 years and just saw a PA at my local dealer with just what you are asking for. Even with the HD riser I am still leaning forward a little (I am 5’4”). This set was not as high (I could see the bottom of the display) and I did not need to lean forward. After searching the web I think I found them on Amazon. They should arrive on Thursday so I should be able to eyeball them and let you know if they will do the job.

Have you seen this yet? I'm 5'6 for reference. Due to the angle of the forks, all risers will bring the bars back as well to some degree.

So it looks like the one TN-Squirrel showed are the same one's the video shows, which are 2" up 1" back. TN-Squirrel, please report back when you get them.
I may just have to go that route or go with the roxspeed.
Thanks guys

I'm guilty of buying some knock-off products for my bike as well, but for anyone that is looking for these and is interested, this is where to get the original made in USA version.

I used the A1 risers, top quality and made in the USA, great customer service to boot!

I will give a warning though, the HD wiring is good for 2" up but not 2" up and 1" back (or vice versa). I had a wire pull at full lock, took forever to sort that issue. My dealer wired it with an extension and the issues went away

Thanks for the link to the “real deal”. I hate buying Chinese knock-offs and will be returning the Amazon ones as soon as they arrive. I have placed an order for the A1’s today. I will post back when received.
