Default Handlebars

Hi, I just joined this forum and I'm looking for some suggestions for handlebars. I own a '07 Road King Classic and I'm about 5'7". I had the RK Custom shocks installed which lowered the bike enough for me to be able to put both feet on the ground (no laughin here). But now when I'm riding I feel like I'm lookin down on the front fender because the bars feel low. I would like to be able to sit more straight and look more forward but that would mean the bar would have to be higher and pullback a bit - maybe something like a Heritage Classic. Anyone out there that had the same problem? Thanks, Doghog

When I had my Road King Classic, I changed the bars to the HD Road King high bars. They worked great! And, you can still use your stock cables. I think the part number is 56152-04A
