Default Bar options for my Marauder

I bought my first bike (a 2001 Marauder 800) a few months ago. I am really starting to LOVE this bike. I was a little worried about its heft (even though it isn't that heavy) but I took the MSF basic course and it helped me very much to learn how to handle the bike. I recently decided that I want to keep it for a while (I wasn't sure at first) so I want to do some little mods here and there to make it my own. One thing I would really like to do, though, is find some handle bars with just a tiny bit more pull back than stock. I really like the drag bars but the OEM ones are just an inch or so too far forward. This isn't really a problem except on longer rides. My arms are almost fully extended and I would like them to have just a bit more bend in them. Does anyone know of a replacement bar that would give me just a tad more pull back than stock? Also, I don't know if I will have to replace cables, but I was hoping I could squeak by without doing that.
