Default handle bars

I've got an '09 SG. On longer rides I start to get pain in my arms and shoulder so I'm thinking the reach of the stock bars is to far for me (5'7" w\ 32-33 sleeve). Can anyone suggest the best optional bars to get? Also running the stock seat.

I have the reach touring bars from HD, 2" back and 2" up, they did the trick for me, I had them on my 06 Electraglide and put these on before I picked the bike up.

I am thinking of the same thing, with the Reach bars are any cable and wiring modifications necessary?

Thanks!

I did change the clutch cable, you could reroute it but I broke 1 on the other bike so I bit the bullet on this one, 79 bucks I think and it was braded also, looks good.
