Default Rocker bars: what pullback etc?

Can anyone tell me what the "pullback" and "riser" and "width" figures are for handlebars on a regular Rocker C ???

It's hard to know what to order when you don't know what the original is. I am quite happy with the hand position on my Rocker but would like some more "aggressive" looking bars.

The HD Drag Bars for Rocker (56947-08) are 1.5" forward of normal. I think the Carlini ones look closer to what I had in mind.

My bars ended up in almost the same position as the stock bars. They are 12" Z-Bars with 2" risors.

I notice that the side-on view of the Rocker shows the outer tip of the handgrip exactly vertically above the centre of the air cleaner. Many of the serious custom bikes have grips much further forward (maybe their seat is too!)
I don't want that forward "hunched" position as the Rocker position is just nice for me.

Would love to see any bar pics you guys have!
