If you have replaced bars you know that getting what you want could be a problem. I want to change bars on a 2023 batwing bike. The stock bars are a little short. I have tried wo579's didn't work for me, too far back. I tried hd tallboy didn't work for me, too tall. I tried +2 narrows didn't work either, too far back. What I really want is the stock bar but only a inch higher, maybe 2inches higher at most, same shape and all just a little higher. I'm now considering la choppers 8 inch twin peaks but I will probably loose a little pull back with these. Anyone have any suggestions?

Measure...Measure....Measure.......Get the 3 measurements you need...rise, pullback, and wrist angle, then shop for a set that meets your measurements. Guessing can be expensive.

Yes it is, problem is I cannot find what I want, everything is at least 10 inches rise and what I really want would be a 9 inch rise. I quess that is too close to stock for the aftermarket to make anything. I may just have to settle for the stock bar.

Guess that's a call only you can make...1" shorter or 1" higher than I want ??

Too much pull back
If they took 2 inches out of the pull back they would be exactly what I want. 1 inch more rise and 1 inch more pull back than the stock bar

KST Six Bend in 10" is about what you're looking for, based on my experience. But, there's the possibility you still won't be happy. The wrist angle isn't exactly the same as stock. A little less bend so your hands are more straight.
They're a little wider and the wrist angle is different.
