Stock risers are about 2 1/2 inches, and they come back 1inch.
Curved Pull Back Fat Risers come up 4inches, and 1.3inches back.
So its +1.25inch rise, + .3 inch pull back.
BUT because it's at an angle back, it's even more pull back compared to stock because of the extra length, About 1inch farther back from stock.
Going through my photos this is about the best side views I can pic of both.

The Explorer seat brings the rider up 2" and back 2". I have pictures in a post around here somewhere that clearly shows this. The risers work as Fran showed and to me were necessary. I have long legs and needed the extra height and movement rearward to keep my legs happy. The risers I needed to keep that kink that comes on at the back of the neck from starting and taking the joy out of riding.
Looks good Fran, I hope the new setup with seat and risers works as well for you as it has for me.

I hear that. Those look rather high but it may just be the angle. A side view with make/model/height of the bars would be helpful.
