Default Handlebar Advise?

I am a little vertically challenged and have short arms as well. Was curious as to what handle bars would be the most comfortable on a Heritage. I know I can adjust the factory ones but was looking to change them any way. Thanks in advance for your opinions.

I put Wild1 Chubby Road Glide bars on my FXST. It has a nice fit to it and I was able to run my wires internally. The pull back is 14" or so.

i've got fat boy bars and then replaced the risers with the ones from a deluxe and you can keep the same cables etc. ad it brings bars a it closer to you. as the deluxe are curved back.

I've got a set of pullback risers from the Deluxe that&nbsp\\;Kalamity just mentioned. PM me if you want them.
