Handlebar placement

I have another n00b question...

Has anyone tilted their handlebars back toward them?

I'm a short guy and when I'm on a long ride, I like to kick back. But, my short arms aren't really reaching the bars as well as I'd like. It looks to me like I could just loosen some bolts and rotate the bars toward me a little.

My concern is this: when I turn the bars as far as they go to the right, the cables from the left grip are pretty tight already. I'm thinking that if I rotate the bars back 2-3 inches then that may make the cables too tight.

Anyway... advice please?
