I HATED my Nighthawk for a couple of years but didn't want to sell it because someone much wiser than I am told me it was a great bike. I felt like I was leaned forward a little too much, but that little too much made my hands go numb and my back ache. I was ready to sell it because it just didn't work for me, but I recalled that it was supposed to be such a great bike, so I got some handlebar risers as a last shot at making the bike more to my liking. Those risers changed EVERYTHING. It brought them up maybe an inch and back maybe an inch, which put me in enough of an upright position to make a difference. No more numb hands or sore back. I LOVE this bike now and am so glad I didn't sell it.I have a Triumph Thunderbird too, but ride the NH regularly. It was my first bike and I plan on keeping it until I can't ride anymore. And I didn't have to lengthen anything or change anything, just put them on and done.
