Default Factory riser height on a Heritage?

Can somebody tell me what the factory riser height is on an 06 heritage? I need to order some bars and cables but my bike is out of town in storage right now. I was thinking about 1"?

Default Riser height

My 2003 FLSTCI has a 3/4 inch rise to the curved portion of the lower section of the bar clamp. The split of the bar bracket where the bar lays is 1 7/8 inches from the top fork cross bar.

Don't know if this is much help, but the stock risers on my '11 Heritage are 1 3/8" from the base to where the bottom of the bar sits...

I was under the impression that the stock riser height was 2"

I just measured from the base to the landing where the cover would sit, which would be the center of the bar as it rests in the risers...it is indeed 2".
