I was unhappy with the riding position as well but I had watched a lot of videos so I knew I would have to make some changes. If I had to leave it stock I would not keep it.
If I could do it over again I would go with the Thrashin 9.5" risers and their mid bend bars and bite the bullet and do the cable and wire extensions, and forward controls. But that is a pretty hefty amount to spend on a brand new bike to make it comfortable. Still, I was riding it today and had a big smile. I have the 10" HD screen but ordered the Klock Werks 6" dark smoke flare windshield to try that out and see if I like it. It's 25% off right now so I was willing to check it out.

If you're just cruising, the stock bars and setup might work for you, but if you're doing extended rides, I find that the HD risers with 2" setbacks are an excellent solution for lower back pain, with a good aftermarket seat. A seat mfg can measure you and add foam or gel pack where needed to move you fore or aft in relation to your bars as well as up or down. Saddlemen is relatively local here in So CA, if what you have isn't quite working perfectly for you on longer rides.
10" Gustaffson screen on the baby fairing. Not enough for my height, I might go 15 or 17" to reduce the buffetting. It's not bad at 50 to 55 mph, but at 75 or 80, it's Mr. Bobblehead time, here.
