Default Handlebar pullback for 2008 Deluxe

It looks like the risers on a 2008 Deluxe are 4 up and 2 back? Does anybody make a riser that will put the bars back another 2 inches? It is ok if they go up another 2 inches. We have already put a reach seat on the bike. Thanks in advance.

Take a look at different bars. I am also short and changed the bars out to one's similar to those on a dresser. Extremely comfortable. Stop by a dealer and try the bars on different models to find one that feels right.

Same situation here with wife's 08 Deluxe. We're looking at new bars.
