Need new bars

I need a little help here folks..I have a 1988 Heritage Softail with a set of older FLH bars also have a C&C Solo seat.
The issue is this, because of a herniated disk in my neck, the slightly leaning forward position that my current set up gives me, I get a lot of cramping in my left hand.
I'm looking for a couple of things.
1- A more upright postion, so some sort of pull back would be good.
2- Having my hands low, guess no risers.
3- I like a wide bar for handling, but this is not quite as important as the other criteria.

Thanks for any suggestions you may have.

14 inch pull-back Beach Bars will solve your problem.
Worked for me on my RK.

Not sure his arms are quite as long as yours Randy and those beach bars have a pretty wide spread on them.

Mini beach maybe.

Here's a pic of my old bike with the beach bars.
Not too good a pic at that.

The Wild Ones Chubby 508's, 518's or Carlini Hog Handles may fit the description of what your looking for?
