Default Another handle bar ?.....

im 5'9" 32"inseam.
I have switched over to the Mustang sport tour seat on my 09 street glide and im ready to change the bars now. im wanting to go more for comfort and function that style.


what is the best way to determine what would be "comfortable"? if I put my bike on cruise and sit in a natural comfortable position with my hands off the bars, then raise my hands to what I think would be comfortable it seems that I need something a couple of inches higher than stock and a couple of inches back.


any feed back would be greatly appreciated.


thanks in advance
