Default Handlebar change for Fatboy

I am riding a 03 Fatboy with stock handlebars. I am 5'5" and have pain in shoulder blades on long rides. I am looking to change to Chubby 508's or the pullbacks that harley offers. Any suggestions?

I put some new handlebars on my 02 fatboy from Klock Werks. they are extremely comfortable and ergonomic.

I believe they are called the Mantle bars.

I just finished putting on Wild1 Chubby 518s on my 07 Fatboy. They bring the bars back about 4 to 5 inches, and they're about 3" wider. For me they're perfect.
