Based on your suggestion I will tweak my highway pegs and see if that helps.

Hey bfrank
I changed out my bars to the 2" reach on my '09 Ultra and it really isn't that big of a deal. I am shorter than you by a long way but I needed the bars closer to me, I was getting the pain between my shoulders. About the hardest part of the job for me was getting the screws back into the stereo.

to the OP - I am with you - this is one of the most ask questions right next to "what handle bar should I buy".
Its kinda like posting - Hey, I need a girl friend / what should I look for, lol..
We all have very different tastes and what I like you may hate.
I have only been riding since 96 but I am a short rider so NOTHING stock fits me very well. I have found that BOTH the seat and handle bar set up needs to fit the rider. It took me awhile and the handle bars in my garage prove it, lol. Iam lucky enough to live within 90 miles of Corbin in Hollister, CA - they have a 'Ride in appoitment' that cost NO more than buying a seat out of the catalog - you meet with a seat builder and he works on YOUR seat all day until YOU say its Perfect - and this takes Many test rides and talking with the builder Truley a custom seat.
Try and find some one close to you that will spend time with you and work with you in making a seat FIT you - Keep in mind - that seat and handle bar is a set - change the bars and the seat may or may not work. just my thoughts.
A big can look Cool as Hell but if you Ride it for an hour and your body hurts, then that Cool Look is not going to help..
Good luck on your search
