Default Yet another handle bar question

I have stock bars on my bike right now. (08 EG Ultra) I have them pushed as close to the fairing as they will go. I dont hate the height, or the forward reach, but the angle of the grips is killing me. They are angled towards me too much. I like a straighter bar.
Anyone know of a bar that has straighter grips, maybe an inch of rise?

Krome Werks, +2 wide sweepers are a better grip angle , but they are 2" taller and 2"back.
