Default New Lower Riser with Stock Deluxe Top Plate?

I did a search but this is hard question to search on and get decent results, so please forgive me if this has already been asked and answered in the past.

Here's the deal, I like the stock riser top plate but hate the tall, curved bottom portion of the risers. I'm gonna go with some stepped 1.25" mini-apes so the question is...

Where can I get a set of lower-half risers that are straight (no pullback), and short - like 1-2" max, that will mate up with the stock deluxe top plate?

Here's a pic of my current setup for reference...

I'm thinking with that straight bolt pattern, it would
have to be something Harley makes. Chk their P&A.

I'm thinking pretty much something H-D made for the Deluxe. I used the stock risers from a Deluxe for a while on my Heritage to help me decide on what height bars I wanted to go to, and I had to use the Deluxe top plate as the Heritage one would not match up....

EXACT same dilemma here. I've purchased the part that S.D.M.F. referenced (number: 46809-09) but it has offset bolt pattern not straight. Would love to be able to use my Deluxe top clamp on some straight 1-2" risers.
