Default What bars are on my bike ??

A few years ago the bike went into an indy for some work. He had these bars hanging on the wall and thought they would look good on my bike. I thought so as well so he threw them on and gave me a great deal. Since having them, I have no idea who makes them and was hoping someone on here would be able to shed some light ??

I love how wide they are at the base. But i could use some more height and less turn in at the wrist. I'm thinking about swapping them for a set of Carlini's or something similar. I really want a bar with as little turn in at the wrist as possible. I would prefer my knuckles point straight ahead. Can you suggest an ape maybe that offers this style ??

Here is my bike:

Check Milwaukee Twins site. They're pretty close to the ones on my wife's Springer.

the shape looks similar to the stock ones on my 99 fatboy but in chrome. I have them tilted down a tad but the ones on your bike looks a like they have a little more rise.

I'm honestly not the beach bar type. I'm looking for a set of apes that are 14" have a wide span across the bottom and my wrists are in a natural position. That is my knuckles pointing to the road ahead of me, not out to the side.

Google up Flanders Handlebars and check their website. I believe your bar is their 1in chrome Fatboy/Roadking handlebar.

Thee are stock bars on my 07 heritage. 2.5" pullback riser so gauges would clear shield. I'm 6'4" and my hands rest just below my shoulder. I rolled the bars forward slightly and it is a very comfortable riding position. Didn't have to change any of my cables with this set-up.

Yaffee Monkey bars. I developed the same issue, needing to "uncock" my wrist. These work well for me.
