LA Choppers 10 inch Bagger bars. Great riding position.
What kind of bars are on your touring bike?

Right now running 18" apes, hands are an inch or so above my shoulders, very comfortable.
Last king I ran stock bars and thought the were fine, definitely got some shoulder discomfort on the right after a few hours, nothing advil and stretching couldn't help. Now that I've run apes for 10k miles, I have no idea how I did stock bars for 100k.
BTW law in Florida is hands no higher than shoulders.

Still have Stock Bars on my Limited, Im 6'5'' been thinking about switching to some other bars. Just dont know what right!!!!
If possible, ride a friends bike with higher bars and feel it.
I'm 5'11" and high bars make me far more comfortable. It's a combination, I have apes and pegs on my crash bar that let me rest my heels on the very front of my floorboards and my toes on the peg, only a quick move to have my toes shift or brake. That and the apes has me in a nice position, absolutely superior than being hunched over stock FL bars and floorboards. Straight legs and arms.
