Question Handlebars Measurements

Could any clever head help me?
I've got a 2007 Dyna Street Bob. I want to replace my stock 10'' handlebar to 14''.
Width-Height-Pullback are changing measurements. WHAT ABOUT CENTER? The center in stock is 8''.
Could I install 10'' or 12'' center handlebar? Thank you!

Yes u can most people try and stick with stock or the width of the forks,gives it a nice looking line.You should get ones that are knurled the same as stock which is 3 1/2" to keep the bars from slipping back and forth but this is not really necessary either as there r tricks to keep them from doing this.And quit calling me a clever head

As I can call you differently, rather then a clever brain as you know such secrets?! ...So I was mistaken thinking that there was other size of knurled spots - 2-1/2... I saw it over here: http://www.sideroadcycles.com/Americ...tock_Bars.html
I'm not a master of English language, especially in technical ...so I strongly need in your recommends!
