Default '16 XL1200 CX OEM riser height?

I bought a bike with 3.5" risers and thinking of sourcing the originals before a handlebar swap. I would also like to know the height of those on the Iron if possible.

It looks like the BAR sits on the Top tree little or no riser.

Correct, the Roadster uses the same triple tree brackets as the Forty-Eight, the handlebars mount directly onto the top triple tree bracket.
