I put on bars that are wider and have more pull back. Same height as stock. More relaxed.

I'm short at 5' 6" but found the stock bar height perfect. Like has been said, right is what works for you.

friends ; today I removed the handlebar risers; and as I thought; my arms are rather long; I'm 1.85; and more control of the weight of the CB1100 EX europe 2015; since it falls as it should fall: ahead. apart it is illegal in Spain to lift the handlebar (if they see it). there will be cases that improves comfort; but in my case not ... the effect that I noticed; it was as if the front wheel was with more air than normal ... but hey; each one feels it in a way.

As far as I know, it's legal to raise the handlebar, or change it's longitudinal position. What you can't do is to use a wider handlebar, unless you get it inspected and certified.
In my case (short arms), pull-back raisers have improved confort a lot. Although the bike looks much better without them.

Ok my friend . In Spain ITV ; in the bi-annual govern review, they consider a change of direction importance; (many BMW TRAILs place it for comfort); but the control of the front end; even more so if you have a companion it is more precise with the original configuration. But if comfort improves; worth taking ...

Good to know
When the time comes, I might remove my raisers before getting the bike inspected.

Yeah, so much minutia, hard to believe it is enforceable, unless there is a Nazi traffic officer with too much time on their hands.
