Bar risers?

Riding an'08 advnture 990 and I'm shopping for some risers for the handlebars. I'm 6'3" so I think about 2-3" would be about right. I can't stand upright on the bars as it is. Any recomendations?

I think for the KTM you may want to look at Dirtnblood's risers, or ProTect Enduro Concepts risers. Each offer the option of installing a Scotts damper.

I am 6'3", and have a 2.75" riser another user here milled on a CNC mill. I also went with ProTaper Pastrana FMX hi bars. The fix the almost downward bend of the Magura bars. Now it is as close to perfect as I'm going to get.
