Dude, no need to yell...

Try the search function to see what's out there, or stop by a local Indy and let them fit you. Without an idea of what's wrong with you position now and what you are looking to do, there isn't much anyone can do to help you.

Sorry

Handlebar choice is a matter of personal preference.


Personally, I wouldn't recommend bars that put your hands higher than your shoulders, and this is for two reasons.
1. Bars this high can attract a lot of unwanted attention (in some places) from the police.


2. Having your hands (at least for me) can be very uncomfortable on a long ride.


That said, finding bars that fit you perfectly (rise, reach and angle) can be difficult.
I went with WO 577's on my 13 CVO Ultra, but if I had it to do over, I'd do some research on these:

I'm 5'9" and have an 09 Ultra. I Just put on 2+2 Sweepers on and a +6 clutch cable. They put my hands about 2" higher and now set me back into my backrest with the extra 2" of pullback. Best mod I've ever done! It's such a comfortable ride now. JMO
