Default Stock crossbones riser height?

I'm lookin at new risers again and my bike is parked outta town so I can't measure them. Anyone happen to know the measurement from riser base to center of bars?
Thanks

Thank you.
Rakthi sweet bones, I like the badge on your tank, tastefully done mods. How do you like that seat? I put a Larosa on but it's no good for long hauls.

I like the seat better than the stock one, but for long distances I haven't got an idea ... I live on an island and can do about 125 miles without doing the same road twice ... Also no easy connection to the mainland either. One of these days I will ship the bike to the main land and do a tour of Malaysia.

There have been plenty of discussions about this particular seat, most like it very much.

Anyway, thanks for the complements on the bike, took me about a year to get the parts together and I should thank all those here who have gone this direction before me and posted valuable info on the how to.
