Default Help locating handlebars

I am getting some severe back pain just below and in-between my shoulder blades after about 40 miles on my FLHTP. I know I am going to need to switch out my bars, and have done many in the past, but I don't know where to find what I am looking for. I actually quite like the wrist angle and width of the OEM bars, I just want something back and up a bit (1-2 inches each way). I have looked at Yaffe, Wild1, KhromeWerks, etc and no one seems to have a bar that is the same width as stock (just pulled back and up a bit). Seems like everything jumps up much wider as the bars come up/back. Does anyone know of a bar that's similar to OEM just has more pullback/height?

Thanks!

Wild 1's WO575

They are wider than stock, but slightly taller and slightly pulled back with an excellent wrist angle.
I had them on my last two bikes, but went with Apes this time.

I just went to mini apes on my bagger. I gained 4 inches from stock & my wiring, clutch cable, throttle etc still fits. Just had to mod my front brake line. Awesome difference!

There is a similar thread for a RK.

My choice would be the KW Sweeper +2. Google it and I am sure you will find a photo of those bars with a similar bike to yours....

Cycle Vision also makes some bars that are stock bends and width but with 2" more rise or pull back

The HD touring pullback bars worked for me on my UC. And they won't break the bank.

Your handle bars are located at the front of the tank, they have levers attached to them, if you need a pic I can post one later. Good luck locating your handlebars
