Default Handle bar help

I have a Switchback that I'm modifying.
I love the looks of 60s Duo/Electra Glides, especially the handle bars.
I trying to figure out what would be a comparable look to put on my FLD.
I've been looking at the Fat Boys, they seem to have a similar look.
Anybody have any ideas?

Here's the look I'm shooting for.

Those almost look like my stock superglide buckhorn bars. I'm not using mine if you want to try them.

Since I gave my fat bob a makeover a couple years ago now, I've also wanted to replace my mini-apes I installed when she was new to some buckhorns. The challenge I've had is finding 1 1/4 inch diameter drilled bars. I'm not sure what's on the duo's and e-glides, but think that is somewhat comparable.

The Fat Boys come with a pullback similar to the Dyna only wider. I`ve also seen them with Beach Bars. Online stores have lots of styles. Will you be using different risers also?

Yes, I would absolutely like to try your bars.
And yes, I plan on using taller risers.
