I need the bars on my 2021 Radrover 5  back and up a bit so I don't have to extend the arms so much, Will this do the trick, 
Thanks, Paul

That will raise the bars up not back. You might be able to rotate the bars back if they weren't rotated back all the way all ready. That stem riser might be all that you need. It will definitely help. You can only go up as far as the cables to the the brake handles will allow. Make sure the cables don't get to tight when steering all the way to the right and left. Good luck!

Thanks for the knowledge and info RJP, The bar clamps on my Radrover has a few degree's of tilt back, Hoping for a bit of back from that, As well as about 2 inches of rise.

On my RR ST1 I rotated the handle bar stem 180 degrees. That moved the handle bars about 3 inches closer to the seat. After I got a riser I turned the stem back around again. The riser was enough to make a good riding position. It seemed when I had the stem 180 degrees back, I didn't have enough room between the seat and the handle bars to stand between them. Cable length wasn't a problem. I rose my bars 4.5 inches with a riser.

Thanks again for the knowledge RJP, Am getting the riser tomorrow, Will report back in with my results on the RR5 when this old body can get to it,

The risers I bought were a huge disappointment, Of the 2 I bought there was not accurate adjustment on the headset bearings, Went back to stock and things adjusted as it should, I will ride just a bit too forward for the time being till I find the right one for my Radrover 5.
These are the ones I tried below, Please chime in If others got better results with different riser options.
Thanks, Paul

I have a 2020 Rover 5 and I wanted the same thing - higher and back closer to me. I bought this one and installed it with the bend pointing back toward me instead of away. It has worked great for me for a year and a half now.
