Default Road Glide bar heigir

Ive got a 2011 Road Glide with the daddy long legs seats. I NEED bars that come back and I can sit upright with proper posture. I just wanted to get a quick double check, what height bars are you rocking on your road glides. Is there as specific configuration that’s more ideal for an aftermarket seat that sits the rider back further?

I just installed Thrashin supply 6.5 pullback risers and the high bend bars and pullback plate on my 19 Road Glide. I feel its the best height and very comfortable. I am 6'3 . It's not too bad of an install either, did most of it myself then had a buddy lend a hand to tighten down bushings and help with the switches. Check out thrashin supply on youtube, they have other heights available.

Don’t know if this helps. 2011 RGU, I’m 5’6, 30” inseam, average length arms, stock hammock seat, 14” KST Straight Jackets. Bars are rolled forward as much as possible while still clearing the fairing. I can sit straight up or slouch slightly when I feel like it.

10" - 14" bars with less pullback (flatter across) will help with a lot of issues, wrist angle, shoulder pain, back pain.
