Default New bars...
Ask the dealer to roust up a whole bunch of handlebars from stock. Sit on the bike with someone holding it upright and and have them position the different bars on the risers. You'll immediately see the differences and easily recognize what you like and don't like.

See if they have the handlebars in stock for the '93 Wide Glide. Nice height and pullback and uses stock cables. Mine are great, really happy with them.

Good luck and congratulations on the Road Glide. Great machine.

Ride Safe.
