Yesterday was my first ride with the Corbin. It is VERY comfortable. It moves the rider back 1.5 inches, it seems just a tad higher than stock.
Friday the Krause pullback plate will go on. That will make the bike fit me very well. I am 6’ with. 35” inseam.

Good to know as I have nearly the same stature
With the Kraus plate you will have to replace the wires and cables ?

Installation is being done Friday. I had a medical procedure on my hands and can not turn a wrench right now. I am having Zion HD do the install.
From what I hear there is no need to add longer cables or wiring. One guy said he had to pull the tank to pull some slack out of the wiring, other said no need to pull the tank.

There's a lot of extra wire on a '25 LRS-ST. I went with 6" pull back risers, no problem.

In 22, the LRS did not have any slack, but my bike builder said the LRS-ST did. He did the same riser on my LRS and another customer's ST. My job needed new brake/clutch lines, the other customer's ST did not. Hope that has changed.

On the 2025, between the S & ST, handlebars are the same, risers are the same, wiring in the handlebars is the same, upper front brake line is the same. The brake line was maxed when I installed the higher bars, any more and it wouldn't make it. Upper clutch cables are not the same, but the clutch cable was the one thing I had to extend, and I didn't have to do that until I installed the handlebars from a Road Glide ST. They have about a 6" rise. So in all I increased the rise of my bars about 6". I used a Fat Baggers extension on the clutch cable, it does get rid of the plastic case, but the plastic part that breaks is still used. There are cables that will extend it from Harley. I think the Fat Boy cable is one. Eventually I will go with a Magnum old style adjustment cable, they just don't offer it yet, at least they didn't the last time I checked. The only other thing that is pretty much maxed out is the speedometer wire. I don't think I could go with taller risers without extending it.

So you should be able to do significant changes to your bars without having wiring problems, but there are a few things that will need to be changed.
