Default Rocker handlerbars with stock risers?
Does anyone make decent handlebars that I can retain my stock risers with? I want black bars and keep my powdercoated gray controls and risers. I am keeping my grey on my wheels too and powdercoating the outside aluminized lip black. I like the grey/black combo.

You'd need someone to make custom bars to fit the risers.

Harley makes drag bars for the rocker. They would have to be powdercoated though. Not sure how much different they look than stock.

Found them. I want my bars to sweep backward a little more and be somewhat lower, so these won't work (they sit 1.5" farther forward). I guess they will appear lower after a tank lift. I guess I need to get some bars with the riser built in that sweeps back really and PC black. Can someone post a few good sites that sell alot of choices. thanks

Also check out BR customs, he can do nearly all you could wish for (handle bars-wise...)

Thanks for the websites fellas. Finding the right bars is like finding a needle in a haystack. Hate to spend a couple hundred on bars then another 150 for PC and holes to be drilled etc. and then hate them. Guess I will see a pic of some I like on a Rocker and copy them.
