Not sure it will work for anyone else, but I have stock seat/bars on my '09 streetglide. As mentioned earlier in this post, I was considering the effects of adjusting the handlebars up a bit to give me more leg room. I went ahead and did that before starting the seat/bar roulette game that alot of us seem to play. So far it works great for me. No more knee knocking the bars when making slow sharp turns, and I feel like I'm riding in a more straight up/upright position. I've only had the opportunity to put on a few miles. Looking forward to seeing how I feel after a long ride.

Fits me like a glove now and wouldn't take anything for it.
Which Handlebars did you change to?

Thanks,
