Default Need handlebars

Ok, I know there have been plenty of threads about handlebars. Ive read tons of them, but cant make up my mind. I need some bars that come back and up some, not too much. I am 6'-1" and get pains in the back of my neck and shoulders when riding, I think its because I want to lean back more than I can. I would like to keep the stock fairing mirrors and be able to see out of them, and dont want to spend hundreds of dollars on bars either, these are for comfort more than looks. Thanks for any help.

I put the Heritage style on mine. I'm also 6'1" and would get a pain between my shoulder blades on long trips. after putting the heritage style bars on $80 and no cable changes it made a world of difference.

Sounds like you need H-D Heritage style bars. $80 bucks & no additional lines or cables needed. EXTREMELY comfortable bars, used on Police bikes. Not sure if they'll fit your bike though? Check application.

I have th Khromewerks 300505's and they are great.

EDIT
I also used the HD sidecar clutch cable. A gasket for the trans cover is also needed as well as fuild. Also changed the rubber bushings to the HD poly bushings for a "better" feel. I will probably change the idle & throttle cables this fall because they are tight on a full left lock turn.
