Sport Glide mods

I’m thinking about going back to my stock handlebars.
I have narrow 12” T-bars on now that I don’t think will be good for those high mile days I have planned.
Where are folks getting risers from? I am looking for 6”, preferably with a little pullback.
Here it is as it sits:
Edit:
I think these are my only option

I got hooked by the test ride. It handles so good on the short test ride I totally forgot about how I would do on a highway. So its not as good as a tourer for long days, but damn does it shred.

Although not directed at me, I'll chime in. I have a 45 mile one-way commute. About 5 miles country roads, 35 miles interstate, and 5 miles light city traffic. In my opinion it makes a superb daily rider. I also take mine on some work trips (usually under 400 miles one way).

You will look less cool, with a moderately more comfy ride. It’s worth a test ride, but so is a road king.

Can you let me know what brackets you used to relocate your turn signals? I also want the Memphis Shades but haven't found brackets.

I don't ride nearly as far, but I have taken mine to work nearly every day (15 miles round trip), and I do longer rides (75+ miles, I live on an island lol, only so many roads) on the weekends. I find the sport glide to be very comfortable and easily maneuverable. I have taller bars on mine now and it made it more comfortable than it already was to begin with. You will likely upgrade the seat regardless. I came from a 1200 sportster to the SG, and the difference was night and day for me.

SpG for commuting
Unless you enjoy lots of wind, buffering, and moderately comfy ride, I would personally go with a touring model for long commutes.
