Default 2010 fatboy baars help

Ok, I want to put bars on the fat boy. Not broomstick but drag bars with built in risers and a slight pull back 1 1/4" or better. I feel like by back is bent as I ride and a pain between the shoulders. I am 6 feet tall. What brand do I go with? How much of a rise (6"-8"10")and so on. I would like to stay with the factory cables and such if possible at this point. Anyone do this and if so what was used and pcs would be great.
Thanks

I've got a 2010 Fat Boy Lo with the Wild 1 Chubby bars on it. Brought me way back and now my back doesn't hurt at all. Had to buy all new cables though. I think you can go back about 2" with your stock cables. Not worth it to me. I went way back and it's much nicer.

I have those same bars on my wife's sporty. They have a massive amount of pull back and I never feel pain between the shoulders with them. I find taht pain between the shoulders usually comes from leaning too far forward to reach lower bars.

I have the 560 model which has about 14" pullback and 4" rise.....you can get them with more rise and much less pullback
