noob - question on bars
Hey all - I am fairly new to the forum though I have been lurking for a while. I picked up a new 2010 Iron back in November and have done a few things to it (Shortshots, 48 seat, flipped mirrors) and now I want a little more low profile handle bars. I am mathematically challenged when I read "rise and pull" numbers. Can anyone suggest bars that are similar to stock yet don't have quite as much rise to them? pics would be awesome too.

Plenty pics on the internet you'll have to decide on the type you want.

Sounds like you are looking for some drag bars. There aren't very many bars with less rise than your stock ones. You might be able to have a bar custom made though.
Steeler's post gives about the clearest explanation you can get for rise and pull on a set of bars.

True, however...
Biltwell = USA made

I got the bitwell trackers. They are a bit lower, makes you lean forward a little bit more than stock bars. 3" wider too.
I have done a lot of riding with the new bars so I'm still up in the air with them. They look great on the bike. They are solid, made very well.
Sorry, no pics yet.
Shopping for bars over the Internet sucks.
