A handlebar riser does make for a more comfortable ride-for me

I'm 5'8" with a 29" inseam and wanted to try a different riding position. I bought this from Amazon:

Wake Bike Stem Riser Bike Fork Stem Extender Bicycle Handlebar Raiser Head Up Adapter Suitable for Mountain Bike, Road Bike, MTB, BMX, Fixie (Aluminium Alloy, Adjustable, Black).​

Feature:
Adjustable height:
max 2.7 inch (0 - 70mm)
Fork stem diameter: 1-1/8 inch (standard)
Weight: 7oz
Material: Forged 6061 aluminium alloy

Originally I considered an adjustable but didn't need any forward move. Gotta report I'm very happy with this selection. It almost puts me straight upright. It's worth a try
I have that same extender and went even higher and back to bring the bars toward me making it more like a motorcycle. Very comfortable. The handlebars are made by Jones Bikes in Ashland Or. Double bars that are super strong, very light aluminum. Great improvement in comfort. for arms and shoulders.
