Default Another handle bar question

Sorry but I am up in the air on this one.
When ridding my fat boy it feels like I am up on the bars (to close)and my hands are low. Now on my deuce with a aftermarket seat it felt great. So, do I go with a drag type bar with risers built in and a seat mod or is there something else? I am 6 feet tall and 185 lbs but out of all my Harleys this is the most uncomfortable so far.

I was looking at the fat drag bars but with out any bikes to sit on I am not 100% sure. I know that a solo seat mod will lower me and so on but if anyone has a fat boy with the drag type bars can you give some input?
Thank you

sit on the bike and balance it on the wheels then close you're eyes and reach your arms out where you think the bars should be. have someone measure the width, height above triple trees and pullback from the top clamp. then surf the web or dealer for bars close to you're measurements. jp has good selection of bars or just search this forum.
