Handlebar risers for a '16

Finally got to take the new bike out for a good 250 mile ride today. Pretty pleased overall with everything but I think I need to do something about the bars....and the seat....windshield...etc. I'm 6'4" and need to have the bars back? (towards the front of the bike) and up a couple of inches at least. I've seen the Helibars (not interested in those) and several different styles of risers but I'm not really sure which ones would give me this adjustment.

And advice or suggestions would be great...thanks.

6'5" here. 36" pants inseam.

I got these simple little riser shims for the handlebars. Love them and their price. Worked great for me. At first I was hitting my thighs with the bars turned at full lock, they solved that and just feel more comfortable in general.

I was making do with leg position. Certainly don't want to lower the pegs any. Got the Kury highway pegs with mini arms (that's the version tall guys want) and they are OK, not in love with them. Eventually I decided to get a Wingsoft Large seat, that puts me up and back a bit, just enough that it makes a big difference. BTW, the Utopia backrest is not a tall guy thing per se, but a good piece of gear.

There's a thread going on the Windbender now. Take a look at that.
