Default Drag Bar pull Back Length

Hi guys

From memory, the Harley drag bars have a pull back length of around 4 inches. I am considering grabbing after market drag bars that have longer pull back lent of up to 6 inches.

Can anyone share experiences with riding bikes with drag bars of different pull back lengths? I am wondering how the extra pullback length will effect the ride. Anyone with aftermarket bars with lengthier pull back that can comment?
