Default looking for a set of bars

I currently have a set of 16" apes. I want to go with similar pair in 14", not sure the manufacturer of the ones I got but they're 1" black and knurled. I want 14" tall, 36" wide with 7-8" pull back in black, 1" diameter and knurled. I searched around but couldn't find anything like the current ones just 2" shorter.

When the bars change size, taller or shorter in your case, the width and pullback will change due to ergonomics.

There are bars that are 1-1/4" and have a 1" knurled center for the top clamp.

thats not an accurate statement on the width and pullback, and I am looking for 1" bars.

I'm just going by what I was told by a company when I asked for the same bars I had but taller.
