Default need a little more pullback than the Khrome Werks +2 sweepers

I'm pretty happy with these bars, but I would like something that extends rearward a couple inches further. I like the neutral wrist position of the sweepers and I like the height just want to bring them a little closer to me, definately not looking for apehangers. any recommendations?

Maybe a reach seat, that would move you closer to the fairing and bars...just a thought.

Seat's good, suspension's good, don't need Radar O'reily elevator boots, I'm not a little guy, I just like to lay back on the backrest and relax when cruising without pulling my arms out of socket, just need handlebar recommendations.

It looks like there may be a few other bars at the Khromewerks site that have very similar shaping , but are 2" or 4" taller.
I'm on my second set of sweepers and this set I installed laid back farther than the other set I had.
This brought them back a bit and changed the wrist position too , but I like them this way too.
They were very nice when I called them about the first set on my 06 bike , and were curious as to how I heard of them and their bars.
It's worth a call anyway.

Check out www.brcustomcycles.com They will make whatever you want. Lead time is 6 to 7 weeks though.

So far everything I've seen that is bigger than the +2 sweeper has an upward bend for the high position ape effect, not sure if they can be rolled down far enough to get em where I want them.

called Khrome Werks today, they don't have anything like what I'm looking for and the apes can not be rolled that far down and still maintain a good wrist position. Maybe I will have to make my own. Guess nobody makes anything in between sweepers and apes, seems like there might be some demand for such a product.
