RE: need help about changing risers
the quickest way to find out is to remove the riser caps and hold the bars at the approximate height as the risers you are considering.
IMO: there is enough slack to make this swap.

A friend of mine just put those risers on his FXSTC. Everything worked, but he did have to lift his tank and readjust the routing of the throttle cables and wiring a little.

On most riser and bar swaps that don't exceed 2" you can gat away with the stock setups. The only real sticking point seems to be the brake line. Its made of a combination hard and flex lines that may or may not "give" enough to allow the change.
