Default HD Slim vs Softail DeLuxe handlebars

Hi guys I need your help.

I got 2014 Slim I installed 4.5 Deluxe risers with stock Slim handlebars. I still need this handlebar come about 2” closer. Whats the difference between stock Slim and DeLuxe bar?

Had this DeLuxe bar on my XL before and loved it but not sure this will be the case on my Slim as it is completely different set up.

I had a set of slim bars on my Deluxe and they didn’t come back far enough. The Deluxe bars have more pull back than the Slim bars.

I just bought these Deluxe bars yesterday and looks like these are identical bars just beside cross bar

Poke around the aftermarket, in the old days of paper catalogs companies like J&P Cycles would show the dimensions for the handle bars they sold, I don't know if the online versions do but a call to the tech line may help you out.

Beach bars appear to have a pretty good pullback to them but they are pretty wide as well.

I would seriously look at these bars from Flanders.com and they come in black or chrome .
They also come dimpled for external wiring or they do have the holes in them for internal wiring .
And you can also find them on Denniskirk.com for about $142

Flanders , swept back flat track p# 650-08075 and I believe the number for the internal wire bar is p# 650-28085 . You may also like the bars off the HD Night rod / V rod .
