Default ATTN: Handlebar gurus

I recently installed some 12" KST Mayhems on my 2014 Ultra Classic. Initially I loved them as they relieved the discomfort in my left wrist. Now I'm not happy. I need something with more pullback so I'm not stretched out so far and with the grips angled back more. The grips on the Mayhems are pretty straight.
Suggestions on what to try next are much appreciated. More rise and pullback from the stock bars of course.

There will be a set of Mayhems up for sale very soon.

Mayhems: 12" High, 37.5" Wide x 5" Pullback

Wild 1 WO577: 12.5" High, 36.5" wide, 11" pullback, 40° wrist angle

It's a great bar that isn't as "killer" looking as the Mayhems but way more comfortable if you ask me.

these are the 12.5 Wild 1's, I also tried the KST Mayhems except the 10.75's and had the same problem as you. The Wild 1's are much more comfortable with good pull back.

For pull back I suggest the Wild Ines also.
The only problem I had with the wild ones was the wrist angle was to much for me.

I run 577's for the same reason, pretty happy with them. Quality is top notch.
