Ya I heard about "Smelling the bumper" I think that when you guys find out what he's talking about next year that most will be disappointed....hopefully the wife and I will  be at the bluebonnet rally to find out what the hell hes talking about.

Don't fret over the bumper thing guys. It wouldn't be worth the time a tellin' ya'.....

  I have 6 inch risers on my stock 1800c bars and would not have it any other way. Iam 6ft 4in tall and like to set as far back in the seat as possible and having the bars back helps alot.

Now if I can just figure out how to get the stock riser bolts off without taking everything apart, like my windshield, I should be good to go.

chad we talked about those 6 inch risers and i forgot if you said the stock cables will work. I found these but the site said that it may require cble mods?

I have a C model. I put 6 inch risers as well as R model handle bars on and kept the stock cables. I also have an ultimate big boy seat. I can lay back, relax my shoulders and still reach the bars.
I was told I couldn't use the stock cables but I have around 20,000 miles that says I can. You just have to swap sides of the frame with the cables. It did take me a while to get them routed just right and it may not LOOK and be right, but it will work. My .02

The reason why you need longer cables with these is because they are 6.5 inches. The Rivco 6 inch risers you don't. Like Dusty said you just reroute the cables. Been looking for some like mine but no luck!  
These are the only ones I found for a 1800c made by Rivco but doesn't say 6 inch risers. Might give them a call and ask!
