For tall people, reclining the seat isn't 'Ghetto', it's a way to keep
your head from rubbing the underside of the convertible top.

reclined in a ghetto driving position to be proper driving posture I
guess I never considered this as restricting the travel of the seat.

I have an older (1999-ish) HDHC in my NA. I bought it for the height
as I'm 6'4". "Travel" is unrestricted however, "recline" is
marginally restricted with the seat to the rear.
You can stop reading now, or read on for more information.
I've said it over and over again, there *are* seat fitment issues
with this bar. My complaints to one of the online HD vendors forced
a change in their advertised warning of fitment (however, I kept the
bar and did not ask for any sort of a refund). Fore/Aft travel is
unrestricted, but my position is one click foreward of all the way
to the rear and the rear of the seat perfectly flush with the
bulkhead. In this position there is significant contact with the
bar, so much so that I have worn away the vinyl and foam and and am
on bare metal of the headrest against the bar.

I have 4 different versions of the HDHC bars in my 4 cars. I don’t
see any seat travel issues with them and I’m not really sure I’m
going to worry about hitting the bar in a crash. Before I hit the
bar I would think I would have other things to be worrying about.
