Question 2012 Fatboy Lo - Bar/Riser heights? (Are these stock?)

Hey guys, I just bought this 2012 Fatboy Lo. I hate the bars and am wanting to go with something along the lines of the bars shown here. https://www.jpcycles.com/product/975...E&gclsrc=aw.ds

My question is, are the risers on the bike stock? I measured the bars on the bike and they are about a 10" rise. Could I go with lower clamp/riser and 12" rise bars? I do not want to get new cables.

Thanks for the help.
