Handle bar risers

Do they make anything to raise the stock handle bar riser on my 2014 Sportster ?
I'd be so much more at ease if the bar was about 1 inch back toward me.

Thanks !

LA Choppers makes several. Revzilla.com has a LA Choppers 2" riiser for about $79.

I already made this mistake, so just be aware. Depending on your gauge mount, pull back risers may not work for you. I have the gauge mount from a Seventy-Two and bought 3 x 1 pullback risers. They rotated the angle of the gauge so that it was pointing towards the tank. NG. Also if you have a Custom, with the enclosed riser and under slung gauge, I don't know if anyone makes a riser extension.

Why not loosen the clamp and rotate them a bit your direction...be careful & check tank clearance...this mod's "free."

Thanks, I've rolled them about as far as I dare. I think an inch higher would allow me just enough to make it more comfortable.
Anyone ever try something like this under the stock riser ?http://www.ebay.com/itm/Harley-fatbo...e3aa64&vxp=mtr

Another problem if you use a pullback riser. The speedo also twists with the riser so its more upright and makes it harder to see for taller riders to see it.
