I have the PYO bars and you can roll the back to fit you however you want., just loosen two of the cap nuts on the riser clamp and yank them.
I will say that I installed my own bars and ran the wires internally myself. I had done this before on a set of Chubby's W1s without the hard mitered angle and it was a breeze. The Monkey bars were a PITA! I won't do it again.
I know this thread was about a shorter dude wanting to roll back for reach, but I got the 12.5 inch and wish I'd had gone with 14. If you're thinking about going with mini-apes on your bagger, it might be a good idea to go to a show or a rally and see if someone will let you sit on their bike to see if their bars are the right height before pulling the trigger.
Good luck!

i'm 5'6" with i'd say normal lenght arms... i'm pretty wide..i wear a 46 jacket... and i have 10" Monkey bars and i LOVE them.. they fit me perfect..they fit the bike perfect..they look great..and feel GREAT !
i got nime from www.americanclassicmotors.net..they had them in stock.
FYI..i went +4 on clutch and brake lines.. some say the stockers will work, nut i did the work myself and i just wasn't seeing it. +2 probably would've been long enough but honestly they are like the same price so why not go +4.. I went with Magnum cables, nice stuff.
The wiring is long enough but you have to do a little rerouting.
If you have any other questions..give me a shout.

There is a discount for prime apes for forum members. I think its hdforum15 or hdforum20 . Call la choppers and ask for chuckie. He ll help you save some cash and give you good tips on install.
I did a write up of my install if you search touring section prime apes install streetglide.
