Default Original bars on a Street Glide

Ok don't scream as I tried searching for my answer, but no luck. So here goes. What size bars come standard on a 2012 Street Glide? What I'm looking to do is raise the bar slightly, around an inch. But also bring them back towards me to get rid of the pain in my shoulders. I did the same thing on my wing and couldn't believe the difference in comfort. Any suggestions? Nothing wild.

I believe 10" but a simple measurement with a tape ruler will be more accurate.

I thought they were just below 8". I put 10" on mine and they are way taller than stock. Have a good pull back also.

I think if I a not mistaken the stock bars are only like 7". If you put on 10" bars they will be even with the top of the fairing.

Had the same problem with the shoulder pain. Installed WO 575 and haven't looked back.

They are just below 8". I put on WO578 (10") and can't wait to ride it. The stock bars just sit to low
