Default '94 FLSTC Handlebar Swap

Ok, I have come to realize the OEM buckhorn handlebars on the bike are simply not for me. I thought I could get used to them but I can't; I guess I am more of a drag bar person.

I have attached a photo of a '94 with a front end set up that was to my liking years ago. However my knowledge/terminology of what type of bars these are is not up to par (beach bars v. drag bars... new risers, oem risers).

Can anyone identify these and possibly point me in the right direction for a purchase? This will be a winter project for me so I am in no rush. Or, if someone has a similar set up and can provide me photos and what items they used (risers, bars, etc...) would be appreciated. I am not looking to go too far to the outside for a reach. I am looking to keep the width close.

And yes, I have tried the search engine. Although there were a good amount of topics similar to my request, I could not locate any that had all the information I was looking for. Thanks in advance for your help .

Tough to tell from the distance pic, but they look like a one piece T-bar set up.

The risers and bars are all one.

It's just my opinion, but I don't think they fit well on a Heritage type bike.

I picked up 97 Heritage Springer last year with those on it, and they just don't seem to go.

Sorry to hijack, but MAN I love that Springer. Have you done anything to it since you bought it?

And yeah, not feeling the t-bars on such a classic bike. Beach bars are the way to go IMHO.

Too much house stuff going on this summer, barely rode it... Hopefully by spring it will have the same look as your nostalgia..

Yep, looking forward to some winter mods here too. Nothing like a sweet Springer, though. Love your blue one, too. Hoping to find a good deal on a springer seat to replace this torture device Lepara calls a seat.
