Default Handlebar help needed

I have an 06 Superglide custom. I am short and need to change the bars to something that brings them about two inches closer to me. Unfortunately this bike has the speedometer mounted on the bar not on the tank which I suppose limits my choices. I really don't want to change over all the cables either, unless absolutely necessary. Any suggestions for bars?

Wild 1 Chubby W0508, 16" of pull back, nothing on the market better. Regular $205.00 but can get a perfect blemish set for around $149.00. Just google wild 1 chubby

I needed some additional arm room so I loosened the bar and rotated it forward about 2-3 inches. Can you rotate the bar back at all?

Sure but it's gonna put the grips at an odd angle. These bars are made to give riders that straight up comfortable ride not all bent over the tank trying to reach the bars. If I was wanting to ride like that I would have bought a crotch rocket "but then my belly wouldn't have fit up on the tank"!!!!

when you guys git yer bars installed, a couple of us here has a question to ask. I got the 14" chubby and I got a head shake at 70 and above that seems to git worst. Most of my driving is over 70 too. Let us know if you experience this problem.
