I don't have any idea what the cost is, it maybe worth it. Take care.

That's the problem. There's not enough room there to allow for much rotation from the stock position.

I e-mailed two custom manufacturers, got only one reply from KST Customs. Did not offer any dimensional informaation and only suggested their "Six Bend Kicker".

My crrently installed H-D Reach bars hve a rise of 6.63" and a pullback of 13.09.

Here are the Info on the Six Bend Kicker:

Designed for the Batwing Fairing Touring Bikes
Traditional Bends provide a classic look combined with unmatched comfort.
Manufactured out of T304 ornamental grade Stainless Steel and CNC mandrel bent
Our hand polished stainless steel finish gives the appearance of chrome but with the durability of stainless
Notched and slotted for internal wiring and throttle by wire (TBW). Will also fit non-TBW models
36" tip to tip with 6" pullback. Available in 10",12",14" and 16" rises
2014-present: 10" and 12" tall bars can be installed without replacing your brake and clutch or extending your electrical harnesses.

I don't know how to compare the two. It would seem with only a 6" pullback I would be reaching MUCH further than I do now. Looking a the following pic, I like the height of the bars but can not see how I would be able to reach them.
