Need bars closer to me.

Need bars closer to me.
Bike is a 2012 Ultra Limited.
When first purchased, the bars were too far forward for a comfortable ride.
Installed 2+2 HD pullbacks and these were much better.
Then recently I installed HD heated seat and the seat must have moved my butt back further. So again the bars are too far forward.
HD only offers the reach bars and that is what's on it now. However now that I have the heated seat installed (which I care not to remove) I again have a very uncomfortable riding position (reaching for the bars again). I have got to figure another style of handlebar that will move the grips another 2 or 3 inches closer to me. That would be 4 or 5 inches increase in the reach over the stock bars.
Anyone that has had this issue and solved it, please advise where you purchased your replacement bars and the part number (if you can).
I am considering 12 inch mini apes (twin peak models) but am afraid they will not solve this issue because they may only be higher and not pull back enough.
Any recommendations or advise will be greatly appreciated

I have this same combo after dumping the Harley reduced reach bars. I'm 5'9.5" and ride with relaxed elbows.
