Just go custom, and save the money NOW.... you will probably go through 2-3 sets before you get them right...... trust me on this one.

16" or 18" is my suggestion, most are 36" to your center fingers

I went to the magnum shields web site and compared the stock numbers and it appears that the stock heritage lengths for clutch, and brake lines are plus 2". looks like the throttle/idle are about the same.

Any of you Deluxe guys still have your stock bars laying around? I've got a Heritage Classic and want to throw some Deluxe bars (and taller risers) on for a lower feel and look.. Thanks in advance.

I agree with Pork Chop. Drop the cash now after some serious research instead of trying to save a little cash. You can't take it with you regardless.

Picked them up for 99 bucks from HCC on ebay and love them!!! I have been told you can go with bikini beach bars with the same wiring and cable as well. Just need new risers for both style bars. But if you want to got for the more mine ape look this might not be for you.
my last reply was in response to the above.

B&R has a video how to determine the correct measurement for handlebars. You may not want his but at least you get an idea what to look for.
