Default FLHT Handlebars

Can anyone tell me the rise, pullback and angles of the stock FLHT's?
I would like to find some new bars that are bend up like the stock bars but wider by maybe 2 to 4 inches?

I can't answer that question, but I just put Wild 1 Chubby 575's on my FLHTCU, and they feel a world better than the stock bar. They are wider, taller and come back a bit more.

You might want to look at the Sweeper bars made by Khrome Werks. Several members including myself have changed to that bar and all you have to replace is the clutch cable with a +4. Forum vendor "Warehouse Direct" sales both and gives us a 15% discount.

Here are the stock Dimensions of the FLHT's from 2002-2008

1" Dia.
7-1/2" Height (Rise)
31" Wide
12-1/2" Pullback
11-1/2" Center
2-1/2" x 4-1/2" Clamp Area

This is per Wild 1 Chubbys website:

http://wild1inc.com/DIMENSIONS.pdf

So I'm thinking something with about the same rise, 34" to 35" in width and maybe 13-1/2" pullback. So 3" to 4" wider and 1" more pullback, I don't think I want higher.
