Pullback on HD Reduced Reach Bars

Pullback on HD Reduced Reach Bars
I currently have these bars. I am looking for something with more pullback than what these bars offer. I am 5'8 with a sleeve length of 32/33 in. and would like to be able to lean back when riding and still have my arms bent in a comfortable riding position. My question is does anyone know how much pullback the HD reduced reach bars have? When I look at other sets of bars they will say 11, 12, 13 inch pullback. When I look at the Harley site all they say is the reduced reach bars have 2 inch more pullback than the stock bars. Well how much is that? What is the pullback of the stock bars? Thanks for any help you guys can offer.

From the chart below, the pullback on the HD reduced reach bars (56152-04B) for a 2007 Road King is 6.25". I believe your stock bars (55919-82T) have a 9.00" Pullback. Harley has a "Handlebar Measurement Comparison Chart" posted on their website.
56152-04B Tip to Tip= 32" Base Width = 13" Pullback = 6.25" Knurl Center to Center = 3.14" Rise (Tip to Base)=11.25"

This is a tough question, and only you will be able to find what is comfortable for you. Everybody will have their own opinion...heritage bars, apes, drag bars....whatever. The only thing that is consistent is that the stockers have to go. Harley bars are not chrome. I wanted a little more shine up there. The most pull-back you can get from Harley bars is from the Reduced-Reach bars. I didn't like the look of those. I am also about your size, but 5'09"...I ended up settling on Wild One 508's. Love 'em. Finding the right set is the hardest part, good luck, Sir.

I'm the same height and sleeve length as you. This weekend I'm buying a set of Road King High Handlebars for my 2011 RKC. I had them on my 07 and 03 also. They're (for me at least) the perfect handlebar for sitting up straighter with comfortable reach. For fly-by-wire models, it's HD part number 56180-08. For models with throttle cables, it's 55954-00.
