Default FXSTC handle bar replacement

If I am measuring correctly the oem bars are the equivalent of a 12" riser bar. I want a double T type riser about the same height but swept back a few inches. Any suggestions?

beard63...... noticed you live in Springdale. I lived in Fayetteville for several years.....really miss the weather and scenery. You going to the mulberry run in july?

About the bars, I think I remember athread where a guy changed risers with deuce bars to move them back. Might be in one of the apehanger threads

Anyone else got any ideas for me?

I just finished my 'winter mods' and changed out the stock FXSTC bars for the HD Bombay bars w/mini tach housing. They are not as tall as the stock bars and come back farther than stock ones. They are very similar to the ones on BlackDragons ride, but I think they may come back a little farther.







Here's a couple of pics where you can see the difference between the stockers and my new ones. First the new bars.



Next, the old ones. I tipped them back about 4"to see if I could make them a little more comfortable and it worked, but they were still too high for me.



The pic's are not too great, and the bike needs a spring cleaning bad. But I think they areclear enough for you to see what they look like.
