Default Fitting handlebars?

Got my Corbin "rumble seat" installed and it's just what I need for the low back support. In order to take full advantage of it though, I need to lean back a little, which my stock (06 FXST STD) handlebars will not allow. After looking at a bunch of bars in the HD & J&P catalog's I'm not sure how to proceed; is it as simple as getting a handlebar with a few more inches of rise and setting it further back or are there other more technical considerations I need to think about?
