Default Looking for a window bar..

Hey guys & girls I'm on a search for the right bar. I'm still running a stock Iron 883 bar and would like something a little more narrow. Would like a window/attack bar about 8 inches high with some pullback (no straight bar) that can be internally wired. I've found a few (Zombie Performance Clown Car Bar & Kenetic Lanesplitter Pullback) but both are pretty narrow at 24 inches. I've never run bars that narrow so can't comment on there comfort & control. Anybody here have either of those bars or does anyone know of another bar that would fit my needs?

Nobody here is running a window bar? There's got to be a 7-9" window bar that accepts internal wiring.

Talked with the head service writer. Said to bring it by next week for a tech to ride. My front tire was a bit low, and everything seems tight. But they said there should be some weight on the front tire, so that's where they will start. Did note how cranked up the rear shocks are (7 dots) said that could be part of it as well, but I'm 220 pounds current and that's how I've had to set them to prevent bottoming out on everything and every bump. Shocks drop about 3/4 of an inch with me sitting on it and a nice heafty bounce just barely bottoms them now. Using the zip tie method to measure shock travel. If it is rear shock I will probably just save up for some progressives. Maybe an inch taller.
