This is all I kept from my extensive research on handlebars. I had much more but cleared a bunch out of my favorites bar after deciding.

I went through all the comparison charts and measurements 7 years ago. What they don't show you is the wrist angle and it's a pretty important part of being comfortable. All I can tell you is good luck, there are lots of bars and lots of variables that don't show up in a chart.

I have the 11" Santees. I love 'em. I know that they are considered an ape, but not so much. All I know is that after I put them on, the pain that I would get between my shoulder blades during a long day of riding, went away. The bar diameter is 1.25 and predrilled for all internal wiring, good fit and finish. Don't make the mistake of not considering the "mini" apes.

This is my 04 with the Santee 11" minis.
