Same. I find myself a little to much pulled forward with the stocks. I love the height but could use a few inches back for kick back comfort. I thought about repositioning, but the way it's bent the controls would feel a little awkward and twisted.

Since you don't want to change the bars you could change the risers for ones with more pull back.

Here is pullback riser for 1.25" bars from Harley. Available in 6" or 4". A little steep at $170 and I don't see it in black, but there are probably aftermarket versions, too.

Maybe some risers off a Deluxe will work for ya. They have plenty of pull back.

Had the same issue, Tried the 4" pull back risers. They really didn't help much. I also tried the reach seat, that also didn't really help much. After lots of thinking and looking I ended up putting the stock Fatboy bars on. Had to change the wires etc, but it made it much more comfortable. I kept the pull backs, but have gone with a Mustang seat.

I read somewhere that the 2012 lo has more pullback on the bars, may be an option for you.

I put on 4" pull back risers. It helped. I also realized the Lo is set up to make one sit more rigid and lean forward a bit. More of an "aggressive" posture.

Wild1Chubby's bars gave me 14.5" of pullback. The 4" risers will only give you 1" of actual pullback.
