I'm not a mechanic or anything, but the stock HD bar stats are below. Compare the rise, pullback, and tip to tip dimensionsonyourstock barsto the Z-Bars. If the Tip to Tip measurementis less, you may gain some slack in your wires/cables. I know my wires and throttle/idle cablesare laking in slack.

Paughco makes a Z-bar in several different heights. 4" would probably be what you want.

You can buy my bars. There are completely unused and have never left my house since I got them in the mail. I paid $150 for them total from Lick's Cycles. Make me an offer.

That's how they were shipped to me. They've been on there since I opened the package. I assumed they were there to help pull the wires through.
