Greetings,
Just get the Harley drag bars that are made for them. I had mine put on before I took delivery and I love them. I came from a Night Train, so I'm used to the straight bars. It's easier going that route then getting new risers along with bars.

i want my bars about 1"-2" lower than yours and about 1"-1"1/2" farther forward. i think its hard to tell without trying them but dont want to waste money on bars im not going to use.

Greetings,
Well the factory riser is 8 inches, so you'll want a 6-7 inch riser then. If you go with a straight-up riser, not a bent riser, you'll be about 2 inches forward from stock. So you should be able to accomplish what you want to do if you go that route.

They are Carlini Original T-Bars...with a 9" rise and 7.5" pullback....I also added a Novello 1.5" riser to make them total bar rise 10.5". I do have a 2" tank lift on it. Carlini makes the same bars with less rise if you want them lower...oh the bars are 1.5" diameter

Try The Handlebar Company website
I have their Flat and Wide 1-1/4" bars with 142 5" pull back risers
This has changed my Rocker for the better more than I had hoped for - a much better ride plus a better look
Would never never go back to the Rocker bars
