Default Handlebar risers w/14" apes?

I have 14" apes and really want to have 16"'s, but i dont want to incur the entire expense and time of redoing it. Does anyone make risers that are 2 to 4 inches above the ones I have now. I think I have the stock risers, but am not sure how to tell. I bought the bike used. Which is easier..risers or bars. Which is cheaper? I think the risers would be but am not sure.

Here's my '84 FXST with 12" apes and 4" risers. I tried 16's but likes the look of the risers better.
