Default Need Riser Advice

After swapping out the seat on my deluxe for a springer seat I am sitting farther back and a bit higher. Hence I find my arms feeling fully extended and angled down a bit. I need to raise my bars maybe 1in and bring them in maybe 1 to 1 1/2 inchs. Any suggestions for me regarding risers or how to make this adjustment?

18 inch apes. . .

There's a ton of pullback risers. Look in the online catalogs and find something you like that would look good on your Deluxe.

I was satisfied with the Scootworks 4" pullbak risers on the heratage.The company is quality"" Worth looking in to .Also did not need cables etc.Can drop your bars lower also.

It looks like you already have the stock 4" Deluxe risers. Try the Heritage bars. They should do exactly what you are looking for. Makes a big difference on the highway.
