Default Bar identification help??

Hi, can anyone tell me what bars are on this Iron I'm picking up next week? Been waiting for a reply from the dealer about a number of things for a few days. Will ring them tomorrow but think I'll want to change them at some point.

Thanks

Can't say for sure , but it looks like the stock bars are rotated down a bunch.
On most bikes the rise on the bars more or less aligns with the front forks.
Just my thoughts on those link pictures.

Cheers Mick, I thought it could be that but it's how far back they come. If they turn out to be stock, I'll be happy with that!

The risers are taller than stock. I agree it looks like stock bars inverted.
