Default Handlebar relocation on '14 Ultra

I thought I had read on here a while ago that the handlebars on the new '14's are adjustable for reach. As is the case with most of us, I could use a couple of extra inches. I would like to move them back a bit, save me from reaching. I really don't have the $ to swap out for a new set. Any ideas would be appreciated.

I had the same problem and am 6 ft. tall....I tried lowering the stock bars on my 14 Ultra and that helped a bit but I finally installed the extended reach bars which put the controls 2 in. closer to you and wow....much better!

Would you say the height and wrist angle changed much?

Not sure where you read they were adjustable, up and down a bit but not to make the longer, you will have to change bars if that's the case.

46, did the stock cables work or did you have to buy new?
