I have stock, done 10,000 miles with them, but the other day, I was thinking that about 1.5 to 2" farther back would be better.

What bars would do that with very little to no rise?

18" apes (I guess I win... so far. LOL)... can't believe you didn't include apes as a selection. Anyone that has ridden with them knows that they are, by far, the most comfortable.

Wild1 Chubby Beach Bars (W0550))on my 07 RK Custom.
Wild1 Chubby Pullback Drags (W0507)on my Sporty Chop.

Chubby bars are always my first choice.

For You maybe, they are extremely uncomfortable for me causing me to lean away from them to compensate for my long arms and giving me a sore back in short order.
Maybe those bars are causing your back problems.

Hew Dawg, did you need to change cables or anything for those? That sounds about what I'd like to do.
