Default HD Tall Boy bars

I'm thinking of getting these bars for my Street Glide but have some questions:
  • I'm 6'1" and love the bike with lowered Sundowner seat by MCC but I find that, while riding without the driver backrest, I tend to settle in to leaning back with my shoulders behind my waist while riding. Would the new bars pull my shoulders forward so I could set up straight?
  • Would the TB bars put my arms in the way of the fairing mounted mirrors?

FYI, I found that the combi of bars and new cables with labor included would be over $500 installed. I can deal with using the backrest.

I have the tall boys on mine and really like them. They will block the fairing mirrors I put regular stem mirrors on mine. I think they will pull you forward because of them not onl being taller but also a bigger spread. I have very wide shoulders and my arms fit almost perfect.

Texas Pro Stocker -
THANKS for the pictures. I've been trying to find pictures of these bars installed on a batwing bike for a while. Question - do they move your hands outside the fairing? They look wide.
