risers

I am a new rider and just recently bought a 1300 T. I am a senior and 6' tall and find that I am too far away from the handle bars. I have adjusted them up as high as I can but still too far away and very wide. I have a bad back and just installed mustang seats with a back rest. I traded in a Honda 750 shadow with the same seats and they felt very good and the right distance from the handle bars. I am not mechanical minded so will have to have the dealer install the risers but I don't know if this is the right route to take or not.
Any info anyone had would be great as this must be a common problem. Thank you.
