Help with bar measurements

Got all of the chrome controls, clutch perch, and master cylinder and all cables changed out last night, but still NO new handle bars

. I thought I was going wih a pair off a SE Fatbot, but I did not like the way the come around(wheel barrow effect). What I would like to know is if anyone can find the measurements on my stock Heritage bars? I would like the same bar with a shorter rise. Make any sense???

I know I want at least 1 1/4 inch and internal wiring.

Thanks!

bottom of bars to top of bars at the grip ends is your rise measurement...front of bars back to your grip ends is the pullback measurement...ends of grips to the other is the width measurement

Yeah, I did do that, but not sure of my measurements...lol Thought maybe someone knew where to get the factory specs. I got 8" rise, 33" width, and 13" pullback??? Wonder how close I really am

Look here (you have to scroll down a ways to the harley section). You'll find your measurements there.

I guess I was not to far off...lol Chart says 7" rise, 32" width, and 12" pullback. Now to find something with a couple inches less on the rise.

Any suggestions?
