Default Different bars on a Deuce?

Hey everyone, just got a question I've been thinking about for a while. I've got a '03 Deuce, and what I need to know is how to get more of a "reclining" riding position. Right now, it's pretty upright, and my arms are pretty stretched in the riding position, with the stock bars.I would like to go with a Sundowner seat, but am puzled with what to do with the bars. I thought maybe going with bars that are similar to what the Softail Customs use, but would they have enough reach since the Deuce has the stretched tank compared to the Softail Custom? I don't want to go the apehanger route. I would still like to keep them low, but stretched back a bit. If anyone has any pics, I'd really appreciate it. Thanks in advance...Drumbasher

Harley makes a bar like the stockbars, but come back to you more. You might have more luck posting in the Deuce section above, those guys have tried everything great info.

i put a set of Wild One low profile drag bars on my 03 deuce. They have a 14.5 inch pull back and are very comfortable. Additionally, they look cool as hell and give the bike a reel custom look.

How much closer would you like them? Perhaps some risers that pull the bars closer would be an option.
