Default need help picking drag bars for fatboy

I have an 01 custom fatboy...has old carlini 5" rise drag bars (1 1/2 thick) on it now...i am 6'1" and have forward controls and i have to lean forward for them..need something more comfortable...im trying to decide on rise height that would work for me...i'd like to sit up straight when riding longer distances....i think i have it narrowed down to carlini clean sweeps 7" rise or big buffalo 7" rise or wild one 6" rise (WO500)..anyone have any suggestions or pics of any of these bars on a fatboy? Any help would be greatly appreciated..thanks.

The Chubbie Wild 1 web sight has a computer generated comparison of several bars and tons of customer pics. There low profile drags are what I have . Excellant quality.

J&P have some Paul Yaffe risers that have a decent pullback.If you go that route you can adjust the angle of your bars.Bars with the risers built in can't be adjusted.
