Default Handlebar Height

I am trying to decide how tall to go. I will be going with PYO Monkey Bagger Bars. I see everyone talk about how tall the bars are and how much they like it etc.. I am 6'4" tall have stock FLHX seat and want to go as tall as I can with out being messed with for being over my shoulders. Help on how tall you are and how tall your bars are would be great, pictures won't hurt either!
Thanks

FLHX here too with stock seat and 14 inch Yaffe MBB's. I'm 6'1" and my hands seem to be right about shoulder height. My 14's measure more like 16's. Here are a few pics, but none of me on the bike. Hope this helps.
