here are some options for risers, going with some that look like the oem risers but for 1 inch bars which is what the clamping area is on the wild one bars, or doing pivioting risers that depending on the base mount riser height i could bring the bars back up to 2 inches
even thought about using a set of wide glide bars. they are more the style i'm looking for
found bars more of what i'm looking for. going with wide glide bars. they have a little bit of a rise to them but are also 1 1/4 inch bars. just going to paint them black. the only thing i didn't like with the wild one bars was having my arms so far apart sorta like beach bars and that i might have to use pull back risers so i wouldn't have to lean forward

I ran the Wild One knuckle bars on my Heritage for about a year and I had them mounted using the stock Heritage clamp/riser. I did have to lean forward slightly but to date, that lean forward has been the most comfortable set of bars I've had so far. I'm currently running Carlini's Freeway bars, they ain't bad, but after about an hour to hour and a half I'm ready to get off for a minute. Everybody is different in there needs and what is comfortable. I find that if I "slump" my back kills me very quickly. I rode the knuckle bars on a two day round trip with no problems at all (I was ready to take a break about every couple hours though but it wasn't because my back was giving me fits). I am about to swap the Carlini's back out and put my black knuckle bars back on I just haven't had time to mess with it yet.
I also have a set of 2013 stock Wide Glide drag bars with the stock black 4" risers, but they were too narrow for my liking. I also have a brand new set of Wild One drag bars that are about the same width as the Wide Glide bars but they are 1-1/4" dia and use the stock 1" bar clamp/risers. They are nice and look great but they were too narrow as well and hit the tank with the stock Heritage clamp/riser.
