The LA Choppers Nice Curves are about the most narrow out there. Detailed pictures of them can be seen in my springer build, which is linked under my signature.
I was thinking about going with that adapter plate for my 03 heritage springer, I was thinking it might help bring the bars back a little closer then traditional springer risers ? Did you find that to be true by chance ? Appreciate It

You can buy offset risers for your current top plate that set the bars back. Don't ask me who makes then but I've come across then a few times while searching the net for parts
