Unless you are absolutely set on Harley Bars....
Take a look at Wild Ones Chubby bars. They are a very well made bar. They have many sizes and a chart that shows how they relate to each other. The Klock Werks 2+2 Sweepers and a couple models of the Wild Ones bars are very popular for baggers (WO575 & WO579).
I would suggest you find a bar you are interested in, then google the make/model of the bar... you will get many opinions/reviews across numerous Harley forums....

I did look at the chubby bars. They are 1 1/4 inch. Is that going to be an issue? And it sucks looking at them online. Without being able to hold them up beside my stock ones. They have lots of customer pics but most have the bars high so I can't get a feel for how far they come back. And the 2+2 sweepers specs is what I posted above. I was just worried about the pullback. It is only showing about and inch more then my stock. I guess that number changes by how high or low you adjust them?

No issue I am aware of....
The bar ends are stepped down to accommodate the grips and switchpaks. The thicker bars look better to me, and it's much easier to run the wires through the bars.....
Bars are a lot like seats.... unless you are lucky enough to find someone who has the exact make/model you want, and is willing to let you take their bike for a test ride..... your choice boils down to an educated guess.....
Good luck with your decision....
