Default Drag bar question

I want to put a set of drag bars on obviously but my question is what pullback do you guys that run them have? I only can find straight or 4 1/2 to 5" pullback. Those look like they pull back quite a bit.

I've never rode with straight bars. My buddy has a set but doesn't know the pullback and I wasn't able to measure them. I like them and just kinda nervous about straight ones. I have the stock risers so I'm not too worried about leaning over the tank so much. Also use to ride sport bikes and kinda use to the leaning feeling. What do you guys use that have them?

I have drag bars on my nightster and I love the way they feel and I'm 5'8 too. I have some extra set of drag bars if you want to buy for 35 bucks plus shipping. They have 4 inch pullback
