Default 696 Handlebar mods?

I am wanting to raise my 696 handlebar about 1 inch AND move it back about 1 inch.
Are there any bar risers that do both?
If not, anyone know of any replacement bars that may have an inch more rise and pullback? I have no idea what the factory specs are. If anyone knows that, please let me know so I can do my own research.

Thanks.

I think its interesting that, while some people ask for clip-ons that mount the bars much much lower and forward, some people ask for risers and in this case something to move them back as well. Waht a versitile bike!

Thanks Bluesman77, I just may go that route.

avizpls...you're right. I have been doing a lot of long rides with my wife at slow speeds while she learns to handle her bike and I need to make it a bit more comfrontable for that type of riding. On the other hand when I get a chance to open it up a bit, I want clip-ons, LOL. Need to come up with a quick change set-up!

Default rizoma bars for 696

...did the rizoma 22 mm medium bars, perfect fit and no need for the bar risers, why anyone would want to pile up more crap on the tree???? nice riding position, great wrist angle too...

Hi. Are the Rizoma bars just naturally higher than stock?
