A number of forum members went with the Khromewerks Sweeper +2's p/n 300515. I installed them on my FLHX and it is a massive improvement. You can buy these a lot of different places but here is one option.

I have the Klock Werks Ergo back bars. They are comfortable. But you will not be able to use you fairing mount mirrors.

I'm 5'7. I was looking for alittle more pull back on the bars as well. I wanted to retain the stock fairing mount mirrors. The 575's worked well with a +4 clutch cable. I lowered the bars just enough so they didn't get in the way of the mirrors. At this point I see just the very top of my hands. They are really comfortable at the height I have them and the pull back worked great.

Part # I used was 55914-98 but these are only for '97-'07 models. You could check with dealer for one to fit '08 and up.
