These are the ones I use unless you really need to move the bars more. There are two others also...

The wide version of these are what I use. Combined with an ultimate mid-rider I have all day comfort. I am 5’7”.

If anyone suffers from this = I have a 2013 F6B. On that and every bike before it, my right hand would get pained, then numb before ten miles out from the house.
Braking and steering when you can't feel anything is awfully exciting!
Took a chance and got the MBL risers - normal, not the wide angle ones... and WOW.
So far the farthest out this spring has been about 60 miles each way, and not one bit of pain or numbness... it's a first for me. They are worth every penny.

When I first sat on my 13B it felt like I was reaching out to give it a big hug.
Felt like my old Harley bars. Had to think about it till I rode it.
After the ride, I knew I could upgrade the bars. The rest is history.
The MLB with a shorter reach did the trick.

Installed the risers on my f6b and what a difference, no more reaching for the bars and with the ultimate mid riser seat with backrest all day ride is a joy.

Initially I thought "$30+ for a couple pieces of aluminum?!".
Eventually I got some but held off on installation.
Job moved 52 miles away, one day later I installed them.
What a difference those 2 little pieces of aluminum make!
I'd love to get the expensive option but these are good enough for me, thank you so much for linking and suggesting them.

My previous bike was an ST1300 and it would make my right hand just numb and sore. The B was much better but something about the riding position wasn't working for me. Better than the ST1300 but still a little bother. 1-1/2" really makes a difference.

If anyone is thinking about installing these here's something that's been mentioned and I'll reiterate: some adhesive or thin 2-sided layout tape will be required to keep the white spacers attached to the black cover.
Sticking the shims in place wouldn't hurt either.
The 14MM screws are a cross-thread waiting to happen, be sure to get them started a few turns with your fingers before putting a wrench to them.
With the speaker grills removed might as well clean out the dead bug parts that collect in there.

Thanks to ALL the contributors here, was looking at all the little comfort and ease of use mods I've learned about on this site, my B is pretty dialed in!
