Default "47" low handle bars

Okay I'm going to be a little different. Owned a chopped 57 pan for many years and now going the opposite direction. I now have a 1999 1200 that has mini apes on it (like most I see). They don't look right to me. So after looking around I find that the "47" handlebars and forward foot controls look pretty awesome. So I am wondering does anyone know the measurements of those bars, like what is the rise and width? I have finally gotten all the problems with this bike straightened out and now I want to start changing things to suit me better. Thanks

Are you referring to beach bars or flander bars? Pics may help.

Kindly define what you mean by 47 bars - we can all think much more clearly with a picture or two! Or are you referring to Factory 47 brand?!

Sorry, I fat fingered the "47" it should have been "48" which is a factory sportster that is lowered, has low handlebars and big front tire. Both of the fenders are bobbed, and has what looks like a glide set of forks. I like the look but do not know what the handle bar rise is.

I have a set out in the shed (that came off my wife's 2014 forty eight). I'll be glad to measure them for you tomorrow.

So was your chopped pan a 57 or 58?

My pan was a 57 hard tail. I raked the frame and extended the fork tubes of the wide glide front end. Foot clutch and jockey shift, open belt drive primary. Only thing about it that I did not like was when I changed the ignition to a mag. Changed it back after a couple of months. All in all I loved that bike and rode it for about 20 yrs.
