How to measure handle bars?

The handle bars on my ‘97 FLHR are severely cracked between the clamps.
The bars I have were marketed by HD as “2” over touring bars”. I’d like to replace them with something similar.
How do I measure my bars for spread, reach and rise?



Two cracks, probably from the holes drilled for internal wiring and 100k.

The "2" means 16" over, if the bars arrive slightly taller they will be fine lol!

While you're at it, get yourself a single piece top clamp.
