Got some risers from ebay for bars that are 1.25" at the clamp. They are a high polished aluminum and I am pretty happy with them. There is also a guy with a red hot sunglow wg on here that got them first. I actually stole the idea from him. I just added the satin black fat drag bars from harley as well. I think it looks much better with the flat drag bars on there and for myself...i love the riding position. I can actually put my feet up on my forward forward (have a set of highway pegs mounted in front of my forward controls) and lean back.
FYI...I have had problems with my bars getting crooked (always the throttle side being too far back) most likely due to the high risers that are bushing mounted. I have ordered a LA choppers one piece top clamp....hopefully that solves my problem.
Since there are riding pics...I am 6'1" but with pretty long arms.

That is exactly what I am looking for. Ebay huh, was this an EBay store or an individual selling them? Can you PM me or post a link? I have also had a similar problem with the bars getting slightly crooked (throttle side too), not sure if it is the risers or bars or what ever. I am looking for the exact same riding position that you are enjoying right now.
Also, why did you relocate your front turn signals?

1" lowering blocks on the rear suspension. I removed the rear footpegs because there is not a lot of clearance and i am a bigger fellow, and the footpegs were the closest thing that the fender would have a chance of hitting. This allowed me not to have to stiffen my shocks all the way and have a little more travel room in the suspension....
And the seat is a C&C Fastback, which is hardly a 2-up seat. On this bike it never has been and never will be a 2-up seat..It is mainly for looks and back support for the driver.....

Now, how tough is it to corner an inch lower? I already have too many dents in my pipes from hitting in the corners...

My original pipes VnH 2 into 1 needed the passenger pegs raised but it did damage the fender on a speed bump so good idea to remove the pass pegs if you think you may hit.

But on my Wide Glide....the SwingWing Pegs hit before anything else, so it keeps me off the pipes in that respect..I drag the pegs and my boot heels a lot, but havent drug anything else and it did improve the cornering a lot, it feels so much better going through a high speed turn, whether that is the lowered stance or the firmer shock setting i dont know, but it works for me!!!
