Default 1200c handlebars

Anyone know of handlebars for a 2015 1200c that fit stock risers that can be internally wired? I'd like to stick to stock style bars. 1 1/4" bars would be great also. I have researched about every site I know and have came up empty. Any help is appreciated.

My dealer uses a vendor to do some special H-D type bars. Mine is a 'super-sized' version of the stock bars with a +2" pull back and +2" rise. It's 1 1/4" and let's me sit more upright with relaxed arms, like on my King. You can check your dealer if they use a vendor for that.

Thanks. Do you know the vendor or can you find the contact info? My wife just bought the bike and looking at cleaning up the front.

I'll be at my dealer tomorrow and will ask. I understand this vendor has a lot of the H-D bar templates, so it's quick for them. I can PM you.

So I find out the 1200C has an odd spacing on the knurling. It's a lot wider than most Harley bars. Thanks RKZen. Hopefully I'll find something that works and keep the look the Ole Lady is looking for.

The Custom has that spacing to accommodate the covered riser and bar clamps. It also hides the wiring due to the taller risers.

The bars I have are the Custom specific one from that Vendor and was made for the covered risers. They drop it down from 1 1/4" to 1" for the cover and clamps, as well as for the grips and switch housing.

I suggest giving them a call. I can take more pics of the bar and cover if you like.

I dropped them an email because it was Saturday to let them know I'm interested and I'll probably call in the next couple days.
