Here is a download link to the latest H-D handlebar fitment guide: Handlebar Fitment Guide

To complete the handlebar installation I am using these parts:
PW1422: KST one-piece full-length switch wire harnesses pre-installed by KST
HTEXT-14: KST wire extensions for H-D heated grips
37200557: H-D +5" extended upper clutch cable for 2021 and up models
41800441: H-D +4" extended upper brake line, black
55900067A: H-D Fat Riser Kit. This is different than the previous post which shows the riser parts from a Road King Special
56298-03A: H-D polyurethane riser bushing kit
The throttle-by-wire cable does not need an extension
I topped off the bars with some rectangular mirrors from Biltwell

On long trips I would like to sit upright firmly against my backrest, but my arms are too short. I want to make this purchase right the first time.

Here's the "official" numbers and measurement diagram from H-D:

I guess Im back to square one.
