I’m 6”1 32 inseam I use a Corbin seat that moves me back an inch. Best fit were wild one Chubby 14 inch apes. Down side was hands above the fairing a bit so hurt in the cold. That was on a 15 limited. Now on a 17 limited and used same seat but using wild one 578 10 inch. Not quite as upright but no pains so happy. Wild one makes 579 with more pull back if you need more. Like stated above seat really plays into this. Stock seat 578 perfect. Seat further back look at 579

I have a 2017 Ultra Low, I liked the fact that it is a little lower and but the seat pushed me too far up on the tank and crowded the family jewels. I changed out the seat for a Mustang 2 up heated seat set me up about a inch and back about 1 &1/2 inches. I changed out the Bars for wild one 579's
they gave me about 2 inches more reach over the stock bars.
The 579's are a great fit for me . I did have trouble with the bars when I wanted to add heated grips. Despite what Wild One said the Harley heated grips would not fit . The left hand side of the bar had to be cut and reamed out to make the heated grips fit.
