i had the same problem, but i had drag bars on my fatty .. had carlini slammers on it ... bike came with them when i bought it
think there 6 or 8 inch rise and 2 inch pull back ...something like that
im 5 ft 8
drag bars put my wrist at a odd angle ( for me )

i switched to 10inch apes with memory foam avon grips..ones he had on there where ness all metal grips
guess what im trying to say is maybe switch grips and see how you like it, or if it changes before ya take the jump down in bars
if you like how the bars sit and are comfortable angle wise .
grips are a bit cheaper and less labor intensive then switching bars. unless you hate them bars then thats different lol

plus switching to drag bars your going to need all new cables, and prob a brake line, ones on your bike now are going to be way to long
all adds up fast.. think my bar swap and cables and lines cost me 900.. but i also had them pre wired through the bars

I like drag bars... I put Wild 1 Chubbys on my springer...

They make two sets for softails;

WO501 Chubby 8" pullback Drag bar- 30.5" wide, 8.5" center, 7" Pullback, 25° wrist angle

https://wild1inc.com/browse-products...s/wo501-wo501b


WO507 Chubby 10" pullback Drag Bar- 30.5" wide, 8.5" center, 8" pullback, 25° wrist angle

https://wild1inc.com/browse-products...s/wo507-wo507b



The ones for my Springer mount differently than a normal softail, but they are- 7" tall (shorter than the softail 8" & 10" options), 30.5" wide, 8.5" center, 6" pullback, 25° wrist angle..

Thanks
