Any of you short guys adjust the stock SG handlebars for more comfort?

There's not enough there to do that. I'm 5'9" and went to the HD Pull Back Bars but there are other, possibly better, bars out there to get comfortable on the SG.

I went with the Touring Pull Back Handelbars. They are supposed to bring them 2 inches closer to the rider. I'm happy now with the bars, but the install was a nightmare! I had a dealership put them on. They said I didn't need different cables (not true). We picked it up and the next day my husband took it out for a ride. after a lunch stop, he couldn't get it to go into gear, then when it did it was like riding a bucking bronco all the way home. (I would of parked it and called the dealer to come get the thing).
They replaced a burned up clutch plate and starter relay swtch. We picked it up again and it was again cutting out when in 2nd and 3rd gear. We turned right around and took it back. They couldn't find anything wrong. The next morning they went to move it and found that when you turned a hard right, the clutch cable wasn't long enough. The bike only had 3000 miles on it at the time so all the extra and screw-ups were warranty covered.
Had I known the hassles involved, I would have gotten bars to give me a bigger difference than 2 inches!
