Default 883L Handlebar Risers?

I have a 2009 883L and need some handlebar risers. I really do not want to have to change the cables and I probably only need an inch or two of pullback and rise. Any suggestions?

Thanks.

If you are looking at using your stock bars with a pair of pull-back risers, I think you should be alright with your cables and wires as long as it is only an extra inch or two.

Your stock cables should be OK within reason. I've added 4" up by an inch or two back with no problems. If possible, by a set of steel risers, not aluminum. Check Custom Chrome. I just got a set of poly bushings from them the other day for $10 and adding risers is a good time to upgrade.

Well, the risers would have worked perfectly if they were about an inch taller. I think 4.5 inch rise with 1"-2" of pullback is what I need.
