Default Straight vs. pullback riser measurements

I have installed drag bars with 4.5" straight risers. I like the height but would like the bars slightly closer.

Here is the question....is a 4.5" straight riser the same overall height as a 4.5" pullback riser?

If a pullback riser is actually shorter compared to a straight version than I will go with a 5.5" pullback. I have more than enough room for a pullback riser with my current setup.

Pics of current set-up...

Cool I need the answer to this ? also

Hey Modular,,I get pain in the palm of my hands after an hour or so, I'm thinkin Pull backs also
But I like the ride position,,also thinkin softer grips..

From what I've seen,,and I may be wrong,,3" riser 3" pull back is the same.
