Default Think I need to get higher

Just installed 2inch risers on my 2011 Street Bob, wow what a difference. She corners tighter and is more comfortable to ride. So now the normal comes in with these bikes, think I need 14 inch bars now, just doesn't stop.

I'm running 4" risers with 12" Wild 1 Outlawz. @ 6'4", the bars are at the perfect height, but I think I need to pull them back just a hair as I have they straight up.

I'm only 6' and now the bars are just under shoulder height, but feels good

The 2" riser is just a teaser.
I did that once. Long story short, I installed 14" Santee's on 2" risers, and couldn't be happier.
