Hey Dog, I also have a 06 Heritage and I agree with you about the bars,however I'm tall so the bars don't fit me all that bad. Years ago I put a set of bars on a Triumph that were called Buckhorn Bars, I didn't like the way they fit, kinda like these Heritage bars are, so I bent the bars downard at the first bend from the grip. Not because I done it but that made those bars the most comfortable bar I have ever had. I am tempted to do the same to these Heritage bars.

Why not just try a taller riser with your fatboy bars?

Lots of luck with WildOne 518s, found here,. Scroll to the bottom of the page to see them on a Heritage. I have them and find them supremely comfortable. If you phone them and tell them what "feel" you're seeking, they'll help.

Here they are on my ride:
