Default 08 Deluxe Handlebar Dimensions

Hi guys, ive searched everywhere and cant find anything.
I'm trying to find the dimensions of the stock handlebars on a 2008 Deluxe.
Im changing mine soon and want to get an idea of how much variation i will get over stock. Im hoping to change the bars and risers without having to change cables/wiring.
Any info greatly appreciated.

The part number for a stock 08 Deluxe handlebar is 55901-05. In the handlebar master list in the 2013 HD parts and accessories catalog it shows the dimensions:
tip to tip 31.75"
pullback 6.5"
rise 6.75"
base width 9"
knurl width 3.5"

Hope that helps.
