Has anyone come acrossed bar risers that don't move the bars back? I just want to raise the bar about an inch or two. Thanks.

Remember the movie "Easy Rider"? Something like that?

Check out risers for the Ducati Monster.
My buddy has one and couldn't use my extra set of mototechniques as they would hit his tank. So he found a set that just moved them up 1.5-2 inches.

I see them often in other motorcycle shops..often dirt bike shops...I'm not sure about the bar diameter though.

How about Rox? They make 2" risers for 7/8" bars. The "lower" end of the riser fits into the hole in the bar clamp where the bar originally went. You can rotate that end in the clamp to get any setback you want, including zero.
No personal experience with them, but I've just looked at a set and they seem well made.
