Default Handlebar question

Sorry if this question has been covered before but, having hell of a time finding what I'm looking for. I just got an 03' 1200XLC and, as you know it has drags. And, I'm looking to replace them with the stock bars that came on 03' 1200XLH. Does anyone know where I could find these along with any pros and cons?The measurements for these bars from the parts list are:
Height 10"
Diameter 1"
Pullback 9 1/2"
Width 26 1/2"
Center 6 1/2"

Thanks for your help. I'll try to keep my questions to a minimum.

You'll find several vendors have bars similar to those measurements. Hell, I just removed my factory buckhorns off my hugger that are close to those measurements. Anyways, keep in mind your risers, cables, and front brake hose will need to be changed also. You can go from buckhorns to drags, but not the other way.

The stock "Buckram" bars for the 2003 XL1200 is H-D part number 56081-82A.
