Default 2013 Heritage Classic Handlebars

I know this has been asked before, but here goes. I'd like to replace the handlebars on my 2013 Heritage Classic with something more comfortable. I believe the hand position is causing pain in my shoulder blades. Can anyone recommend a different handlebar that would hopefully not require me to change cables?

By the way, I'm 5'8" and I don't have any trouble reaching the bars. They just aren't comfortable.

check out the stock 07 Heritage bars,, they put Ur wrist in a lot more neutral position IMO.. They dont tilt back and down nearly as much as the newer ones. And U wouldn't have to change the cables.

I still love mine and have never had any pains from them.

Burly bikini beach bars for me. I hated the stock Heritage bars. They made my hands falls asleep after an hour or so.

Oh and I didn't need to lengthen the cables, but I did have to lengthen the brake line and extend the wiring harness.
