I picked others , only because they are not stock for my bike.
My '48 stock bars were a bit narrow and too far forward for me.
I installed a stock set of bars # 56085-83A.
These are black , stock bars for , Nightster , Roadster , and XR1200.
Just a couple inches wider , couple inches closer , made a huge difference to me.

Biltwell MX bars on 1" risers. The riding position is really neutral with little pullback or wrist turning.
