For me, being tall, it reduces the "hunch" effect when standing up and taller bars let ya roll them back a bit which puts the rider position back a little farther on the seat. I thinks it's more of a rider/size/comfort preference thing.

I'm 72 inch, so it would be good to have a little higher handlebar?

I i'm 5' 8" tall and love the higher bars. My bro. is 6' and doesn't like them. So it is a personal thing. But I would go with higher bars.

Who makes a similar bar to the stockers so I can keep that plastic thingy where you insert your key and displays the neutral and temp light?
