Default Road Glide handler bar options?

I really like the idea of the new road glide, but after having ridden one, feel the handle bars have way too much pullback. I currently rode a 2014 Ultra Limited, which I think has nearly perfect handlebar setup.

Are there any bars with less pullback? Or does the fixed fairing restrict options. I'm not really interested in apehangers as an alternative, but if that's the only option, does anyone know how much taller the bars would need to be to clear the fairing?

Cheers

You can roll them forward a bit, more so if you pull them and remove the set pin. That results in taller bars with less pullback.
