I sure hope someone has a solution that brings the buckhorns up a little over an inch and back about the same.

Put a 2x4 under the front tire?   Roll Eyes    I'd look at after market H-D risers ,the ones that aren't joined  ,should work, and there should be more of a selection , in the proper 1 inch size.

Note that HD risers use a 1/2" bolt which doesn't fit in stock dampers.
You'll have to replace the steel thru tube.

For my wrists....the Buckhorns just aren't comfortable.  They put my wrists in bends that are not comfortable to maintain for any length of time.

I would be inclined to find handlebars that are a different shape - if I was riding a bike with Buckhorns.

Dave ,I found the same thing to be true ,in the past I used drag bars with a 20 degree pull back, and now use  old style HD Sportster bars ,both of which are a vast improvement over stock buck horns.

I've been using the 'superbars' for the past 5 years and while immediately thought they were the bars for me, I've had to switch back to the buckhorns to relieve some stress on my elbow.  This and a stress reducing mouse the pain in my elbow has eased.
