Default Springer handlebars dilemma

You know finding handlebars for a 03 springer is difficult. Never knew until yesterday that they are different. It has the stock buckhorns, which I hate, on it. I believe they have 8 1/4 rise. I found some with 6 inch rise, but think they would be about the same due to the turndown and where the grips are located. I just want some with around 8 rise and no turn down. I don't want to change cables, wiring or hoses. Any suggestions?

they make a adapter plate for the top tree that enables you to use the risers from a none springer front end and standard width handlebars.got one on my 97 springer and has drag bars on it

I like Wild 1 bars. they have a selection of Springer bars. The 0510 Dresser bars dont have any turn down. They are very close to what i have on my fatboy the WO504 Dresser bars
