Welcome to the Forum from Colorado!
T-Bars are popular on Low Riders. Various heights are available.
Drag bars are another option.

Heritage bars
drag bars
beach bars
stock bars from other models

It really depends on what you are looking for in terms of form and function.

I’ve been looking at the street slammer bars heard good things on them don’t like the looks from the front I wish they still made the cover plate for the risers like the old sporters had.

Have you sat on other models? Do you want to go wider? I wanted my bars closer so I just changed out my risers on my SuperGlide. A few years later I changed my bars to Switchback bars which were a little taller. You also might have to change out one or two cables.

Well, I actually put the Low Rider bars on my Heritage, so there's the "sit up and beg for the cookie" handlebars that come stock on the Heritage.

Lots of ideas and I have a lot of experience with a lot of bars over the years, from cafe bars, to drag and t bars to apes. The question we need to know is, what are you looking for in a bars, then perhaps we can give you some ideas. What are you hoping to achieve with the new bars? An example would be comfort, looks, high, or low?
