handlebar question
Wondering if anyone here has gone to the Hollywood bars that are stock on a Softail Slim? Looking for bars that don't turn down as much as the factory Buckhorn style bars do on my FXDC/Dyna Custom. I like flatter style bars, as I spent many years on dirt bikes, and just like the feel.
I realize the Slim bars have almost a flat track shape and pullback, but are much flatter than what I have. Others have mentioned different Sportster bars too, so any experience with flatter style bars will be appreciated. tomp

I recently changed out the bars of my 2009 FXDC with Flanders H5 TT Tracker bars. I set them up an inch and 2 back with Rivco risers.
They look similiar in width and pullback to the bars pictured in the OP, but they have more rise.
I like the leverage the additional width of the bars provide as well as the difference in riding position. Countersteering takes much less effort.
Hard to describe, but it just feels like you have a much better grip on the forks with the H5 Flanders,...just a much better handle on the bike, period.
