I have these and they work pretty good. I have them situated for 1-1/4" back and 3/4" higher.

These are the Ultimate solution if the risers are not enough. Pricey though

I'm not far from you at all. Could meet and you could see for yourself.

I installed the standard MBL risers and am very happy with them. They also make a tall version. Rocky comfort risers get good reviews too and have the most adjust-ability of any risers that I know of. Kuryakyn risers are also popular, but had a recall due to bolts breaking so I avoided those.

That recall was for units sold between April and August of 2013.

That's what I have, works great and feels very comfortable.

You have a link to the Rocky. I honestly only saw the Kury and the Show Chrome when I ordered the Kury riser kit. I'm about to order a new Ultimate and it's possible that it may change my reach to the bars. I'll find out. RIght now, the Kury risers are doing what I need them to.

The rocky risers were made by a GW rider, not a company. I'm not sure, but maybe Phantom knows if the Rocky risers are still available? I have not seen much about them in awhile.
