Default Handlebar Question

I have a 06 Electra Glide and need to raise the bars 4" and get a little wider spread. What do I need to get this done? Will a riser work with the fairing? What model of bars do I need? I have triked this bike due to health reasons. Thanks in advance for the help.

Well you can't really raise them up because using risers will not allow the bars to clear the inner fairing. But you can tilt them up.
The most popular bars that pull back and raise up while clearing the fairing are:

HD Touring Pull Back Bars
WildOne 575
Flanders Bars

There may be other handlebars, but I can't think of them right now.

Like Paniolo said with a fairing bike you can't go with taller risers, you can only achieve heigth and width thru using different bars and he has given you some good choices.
