Not sure theres allot of choices. Springers have that extra wide base, so many standard bars won't even fit. Maybe look at Paughco's catalog. They have a pretty large selection of various bars.

I just had to buy new bars for mine. Very limited but each company "wild 1, etc. " Has bars for the springers. They get very pricey though. I bought a set of khrome werks, cheaper and not too fancy but they fit and could get them relatively quick.
