Default Handlebars???

What would be the best bars to raise the height on a stock 2013 ultra limited about 2 inches and pullback 1 to 2 inches? I want to stay under the fairing. I don't mind the stock grip position but wouldn't want anymore turn in on my bars if anything I wouldn't mind a little less turn in. I'm 6ft but have 38 inch arms like a gorilla lol. I get back pain in the dead center of my back it's not as bad as it was on my roadking but it's still there. Not sure bars will help but thinking they might. I had 16 inch apes on my king but don't want to go that high again.

Take a look at HeliBars....expensive but totally adjustable so no worries about buying the wrong bars, not liking a riding position, etc. Catch them at a major rally like Daytona and they will install for the price. I have them on my bike, see the pic in the signature.

Another vote for KW sweepers. 38649-08A would be the clutch cable you want if you stay with the black vinyl and 38210-08 sensor if you want the one without the green clip or reuse the stock. Not an expensive swap especially if you do it yourself.

The pain I got was right between my shoulder blades. A set of 11" Santees fixed that little problem. And I think they look pretty cool too.

I agree with Stan60, I would go with at least 10 to 13in's to solve any back pain. Not sure just 2" are going to help much. I could be wrong though, not that that's ever happened before.

HD makes Reduced Reach bars that just about fit those specs, don't go above the fairing and are about $150.00...... And no cable changes/extensions either......

I had H-D 2" 'pullbacks' on my '09 Ultra. Just about perfect match for the specs you stated.
