This may sound crazy, but my old Yamaha Road Star had a factory punch mark on the handlebars. The punch mark was used to adjust the handlebars to the default factory setup.
On the Road Star, by aligning the punch mark at the outer right side of the riser, where the upper and lower riser halves join, you could set the handlebars to the factory setup.
Do HD, Khrome Werks and Wild 1's bars incorporate a punch mark or other means of setting up handlebars to a default setup?
There is no "default" set up , everyone has their comfort zone. I find at the dealers the standard set up is to aline the bars with the angle of the forks.
Adjust them where you like them, mark it if it will make it easier for you to reference later
