I've got 1.5" riser extensions on mine. I bought them on Ebay and got them chromed to match the risers. Anything bigger than the 1.5" and you have to change cables. I've seen different sizes on Ebay.

I put 1.75 inch chrome ones on my wife's bike,from eBay as well.had to adjust the hard line a little but stock cables worked fine.made a big difference in the reach and back.

I made my own. It definitely helped but I still want different bars on long rides.

After looking at mine today the cables do have a little more room for taller ones. But my front brake line would have to be changed to go more than the 1.5".
