What type of bars are these?
I have HD drag bars on my 48 with forwards right now and there is not enough pullback so I am looking at other other options that are still low profile, yet won't leave me so hunched over on long rides.
So does anyone know what type of handlebars are on this bike?

It's kinda hard to tell , but if you can measure them would help.
I got some great info from Sideroad cycles as per Flanders specs .
http://www.sideroadcycles.com/Import...ckBarsOne.html
Just go down and look at the Harley stock specs.
If you check out more of the site , you can measure and figure out "nearly" what you have.
My stock bars are ...
4.5" rise 27" wide 7.5" pullback 4.75" center
I would like to go 3" wider and about 2" closer at the same height.
The graph shows
2006-2007 XL883R bars (black)
5" rise 31" wide 9" pullback 6" center
This would be a pretty cheap and easy improvement and not change the look much at all.
The hardest part is measuring what you already have.
Good luck.

Hey thanks brother for the link. I was hoping someone would take a glance at the bars in picture of that white bike and be able to know immediately what they were. I do think they are a type of Flanders bar though.

Those are superbike low handlebars.
You can try Night Rod special handlebars from Harley or buy from Spieglerusa that sells some made by LSL. You have to make fit. They are 2" wider than stock.
Night Rod is 3" wider.
On the dropdown list choose SB LOW:

Yeah I think you nailed it OddJack, they do look like those on that link. I am also looking at the RSD short Stack, or Vintage Moto Low bars....something's gotta give, I either need to have my hands up higher, or pulled back further and preferably both. Either my arms are getting shorter, or my gut is getting bigger because a year ago it didn't bug me as much.

Yeah those look good on sportys, also look up: Bitwell Tracker handlebars for harley, or just tracker handle bars, very similar.

They kind of look like the XLX style bars. I have Biltwell trackers, I don't think they are as wide as the bars in that pic...
