Any way to determine or find out the rise and pullback on stock bars?
Not figuring anything for the risers.
I know (think) other bars are available with different rise and pullback which would allow use of stock risers. Had read the some HD bars will do that and are the same diameter. Where is pullback measured to/from? Same with rise.
Can't compare without knowing what the stock bars are to reference against.

1.1
Place and hold a yardstick across the bottom center of the handlebars. Place the tip of a measuring tape on the handlebar at it highest point and stretch it down past the yardstick. The intersection of the yardstick and measuring tape is the rise, or height measurement.

2.2
Place a yardstick tip at the base of one handlebar and hold it level, pointing toward the seat. Place a measuring tape on the end of the same handlebar on the grip. Stretch the measuring tape down to intersect with the yardstick. This measurement at the intersection is the total pullback.

3.3
Measure the distance between the left handlebar to the right handlebar with a tape measure placed in the center and straight. The measurement is the center-width measurement.

4.4
Slide the grips off the handlebars with a pulling and twisting motion. Stretch a measuring tape from the outermost point on the left handlebar to the outermost point on the right handlebar, which is the total-width measurement. Replace the grips on the handlebars by pushing and twisting them on.
