Default Handlebar Help?

FXDF with 8" (1.25" Clamp) risers, currently running Wide Glide bars.
Love the look but they're just a little too low, and just not quite enough pull back.

So, looking for a set of black bars with 6" rise and a few more inches of pull back to replace them.
Looking to end up with ~ 14" rise and ~ 6" inches of pull back.... sounds simple right.

I am just not finding any bars with 6 - 8" rise and 1.25" clamp area that are bottom drilled for a Dyna.

I know I could find all sorts of bars with 8 - 10" rise and go back to my stock black 5" risers,.
But I like my chrome risers and think a set of low rise black bars would look pretty good on them.

Anyway, spent way too much time on the Internet (not looking at ****).
Hoping someone here can point me at a set that would work.

Thanks !!

Have you looked at the buck horn bar on a Sugerglide. They have about a 8 inch rise and a bit of a pull back. I have those with a 4 inch Wild One Chubby riser. I was able to roll the bar back enough to get the pull back I wanted since the buck horn bar already has some pull back.

It might be worth looking through this page:

http://www.sideroadcycles.com/Americ...andlebars.html

Flanders bars are very nice, made in USA pieces, and there are lots of rise and pullback options. Most are available in black powdercoat. I have a set of their bars in black... The finish is pretty high gloss, definitely not satin. It seems very durable - I haven't scratched them at all, despite having them on and off a few times. As a point of reference, I had a set of Biltwell bars in black (that I didn't end up using), and I scratched them before even attempting to mount them...

All the Superglide bars I could find were 1".
Could use spacers between the risers and bar, but wanting to avoid that if possible.

I'm liking the Flanders bars, closest thing to what I want so far.
The TT bars have 5.25" rise, but a little wider than what I was hoping for, probably end up with those anyway, thanks.
The mini apes start at 10" rise, so they're out and the Badboy is only 3.75" rise, but that's the look right there.

I looked at pullback risers too, thanks for the idea, just couldn't find any that jumped out at me.

I'll have the tape measure out today thinking the Flanders might be my ticket.
Thanks guys, all the best.

Depending how much narrower you want them, you may be able to do some trimming. I've taken off as much as an inch from each side of some bars in the past, with a pipe cutter smilar to this:

You just have to be careful that you aren't pushing controls/clamps into the bend, and be mindful of how you're routing wiring.

I also think that Flanders will custom make you a set with your specs....

Just bought a set of Demon's Cycle H-bars off eBay, 14" rise 12" pullback.
These bolt right up to the triple tree, so, I'm dumping the risers all together.
Not what I originally intended, but puts my hands right where I wanted to end up.

Anyway, was a great deal, $150 shipped, new black but minor scratches, comes with grips, chrome controls and wiring.
Only problem is the master cylinder is 9/16 and I need 11/16, so now I'm out searching for a cheap match or trade.

Will post pics when they arrive, can't use OEM's copyrighted pics.

Thanks for the help and suggestions
