RoadVenture,
Many of us have changed out the stock risers for the Rivco and would probably be happy to sell you the stock parts. Are you "wanting" to go back to the stock risers?
 
RoadVenture,

I've removed the Rivco risers (from previous owner), installed the classic handlebar, added the rivco risers later and finally removed them.

I know what i'm talking about.

Besides the color of the brake line, it's only 1/2" (1cm) different, not enough to make any difference. As for the clutch cable I had them quickly side by side and didn't see a difference. Throttle cables I can't remember.

It's all in the routing, once you route the clutch cable infront of the handlebar and remove the special bracket for the brake line it will all start to make sense. Once you route the throttle cables infront of the two headlight bracket they will be just long enough.

I STRONGLY recommend that you look at the first pages of the shop manual for proper routing, that's what I used.
