Default Crossbones Apes Help/Suggestions?

Okay we all know how picky us ladies can be. I have searched and read threads to try to find websites with different brands but I know there have to be a lot of maybe smaller named places out there...

I want to switch out the stock miniapes that came on my Bonz for something different. I want a little taller but it's going to be tough to find something as my bike isn't the blacked out Bonz everyone else has. It has a vintage red/white paint job so the styling is a little different.

Any suggestions on bars or places I could look?

I'm checking out some of these now...
Here's a stupid question, What exactly does pullback refer to? and what is "knurling"?

Knurling is what they do to the bars to keep them from moving in the risers...
make sure that you get bars designed for a springer or the knurling will show in between your risers...

Pull back is the distance from the center line of the bars (area that is clamped by the risers) to the end of the bar (where your grips attach)...

Don't know how tall our stock bars are... I would measure if I still had them...
