Default looking for legal bar height in missouri

Having a hard time searching for the legal height of handlebars in missouri. I believe its nothing above your shoulders, but cant find it in writing. Wanting to order a set of yaffees.

http://dor.mo.gov/mvdl/drivers/motorman/motoman.pdf. interesting but handlebar height not addressed. i got my cycle endorsement in 1971 in Missouri. at that time the fine for no helmet was $25. fine for non-conforming helmet was $90. law says wear helmet but doesn't state where. when i was servicing local police scooter the officer said if the helmet was on your person you wouldn't get a ticket. here in alabama the stipulation is the strap has to be under your chin also nothing about wearing on head. LOL.

I really thought I heard on the news they were trying to change it to shoulder height. It appears to be 15 inches above the seat height.

If you can't see over the bar, maybe you shouldn't be drinking!
