Default I need new bars

Have a 2013 Dyna SuperGlide, love the bike, not so much the bars. On a relatively short ride, 20 miles, my right hand gets tingly.

I'm thinking this is because I'm stretching a little to far and the bars are are angled a little too far down for my liking.

What would be a good bar to look at that would come back about 2 more inches from stock and not angled quite so bad. I'd also like a bar I can hide some wiring in.

I know this is all personal preference, just need a little direction.

My specs are

5'9" with about a 27" reach ( nose to fingertips ). Prefer a relaxed riding
feel.

If I'm measuring right, I think I'm looking at about a 6" rise with a 12" pull back. Will I need to buy new lines. I'm looking but can't quite find bars with these dimensions, also need them to be 1 1/4

Will look in to those...so many choices....

Here are the ones I'm looking at. I think they will work for me, just not sure if I will have to change cables.

Have you checked out the stock bars on the Wide Glide? Their position is more flat and "out" than the SG. You would most likely need curved risers though.

I'm running something very similar to those and love the riding position and the look.

You can install some 4 1/2" curved risers similar to the softail std, or street bob mini ape bars, with out having to replace the cables. Have had both on my fxdc . Some rerouting of the clutch cable is needed for the int wired street bob bars. Sit on a stock street bob and see how it feels. The new fxdc has mini harness plugs so no drama in running wires thru the bars.

I ride a Fat Bob and love the bars. I also like the bars on the Wide Glide. I tried a Super Glide and the stock bars did not work for me either.
