Don't know if this will help you or not but here's a pic of mine. I believe the bars are stock but the risers not? I just bought the bike a couple of weeks ago and did not ask those specific questions.
Also, I posted in your other thread about your pipes. I don't have enough posts yet to PM you.
Those look stock to me, bars and risers. Beautiful color on your Deuce. Not sure if I'll be selling the exhaust, just yet. What do you have on the bike now?
Sorry about the misinformation then. Not new to riding but I am new to Harley's.
Here's what my bike looks like from the other side. I believe they are no longer available from V&H. They're longer than the shorts and not staggered like their newer pipes. I called them the other day about getting some quieter baffles and they said they had never offered any for these pipes. I have tinnitus and am trying to protect what's left of my hearing. That's why I inquired about your pipes.
No misinformation intended, I'm just now starting on transforming the look of my bike. My wife would love your bike, she has 2011 Camaro in Inferno orange metallic. Similar in color to your bike. Your pipes are some kind of short shots. They must have changed them to something very similar. I had the big shot longs on my Deluxe. Basically the same just longer, and the ends were even like yours. Have you checked with other vendors to see if they carry a baffle that will fit, or looked inside yours to see if maybe they can be fiberglass packed? Where about are u located? I see it says PNW so I assume the pacific northwest, like me.

I didn't mean misinformation by you Jonny, but by me, when I suggested the risers might not be stock. Sounds like they are though.
The guy at V&H called them big shot standards, and said that they are no longer made. They're longer than the short shots. I spoke to a guy at ThunderCity and they do make baffles. I have to remove the tips and measure the actual pipe to know which to order. But he didn't really want to talk about dbs or volume, rather he said that their baffles would make the pipes deeper in sound. I've messed around with pipes a lot on other bikes, enough to know that it's hard to find the sound you're looking for without actually hearing them on an identical bike, unless they're stock. So I'm kind of hesitant to pay $130 for a set of their baffles without knowing for sure if they'll cut the sound enough to meet my needs. My bike only had 3K miles on it when I bought it a couple of weeks ago and I really like it, including the pipes. They're not overly loud unless I'm accelerating. But as I said I'm trying to hang onto what hearing I have left after many years in construction, loud music, and many bikes.

I'm in SW Washington.
I dont blame you, thats kinda steep for baffles. Im in Longview. Love to see the bike someday.
You just might regret that move. I went from drag bars to about 10-12" apes, and since then I started having rotator cuff troubles. Hope you don't end up with the same issues.
i will try and get some pics of me on the bike with mini apes,front of my bike isnt lowered but the rear is,progressive 422 shocks,you can lower 2 " with them.
i am actually thinking about a 2" lift on my fuel tank
