Default ‘19 Roadster riser question?

Picked up a ‘19 roadster last year, been an awesome first bike... Only problem is the bars being so low/wide, would prefer a more upright position. Looking for some advice re: z bars vs riser/drag bar.

I’ve seen some roadsters on here done up “club style” with high riser/bar combos... I thought the bottom half of the riser was integrated in to the top of the triple tree, does that piece unbolt?

Is any bushing/adapter required to fit a riser (Hardcase/Biltwell etc) directly to the top of the triple tree?

Alternatively, does anyone make a riser extension over 2” for the 48/Roadster? The only ones I’ve seen are the DK/LA choppers 1-2”.

Also, does anyone know how much rise (approx) could I get with the stock cables/bar? Think I might have to move to a narrower bar to get more rise...

Wondering if it would be cheaper/easier to just go with Z bars with the same rise?

On a separate note- there’s another thread here mentioning spacers to move the taillights forward... Clearing the rear mounting hole to allow for a sissy bar. Does anyone have a link?

Thanks!
