Default FLHTK OEM handlebar specs and replacement

Did a search and couldn't really couldn't find what I was looking for. I'm trying to find the pull-back/height/width specs for my stock ultra limited 2015 handlebars. I'm desperately looking to replace them because the angle of the grips puts a lot of stress on my wrists. I need something more parallel to the fairing (90-degrees to the tank). What I can find is the OEM have 6.5 pullback (don't know if this is true - suspect source). That puts it inline with the Paul Jaffe's and LAChoppers that I like the looks of. I only need the 10 inchers so cabling isn't an issue.
Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks!
Mark

I can't tell you the exact specs of the stock bar. I had the opposite issue with wrist angle (needed to be more parallel to the tank) and ended up using the Reduced Reach Bar.

When I was searching I came across HeliBars. These can adjust for wrist angle and those that have them swear by them. The ESX would be the one to look at if you like the stock height and rear offset but need to change wrist angle. They are crazy expensive though.

I'd suggest calling Harley Customer Care. They should be able to provide those specs on the stock handlebar as they do show them for other bars in their online parts and accessories catalog.

I don't know the spec's, but i put on LA Choppers twin peaks 10", The wrist angle is great, but there is a bit more reach to the bars, as you cannot pull them back much, they will hit the tank, I did call LA Choppers prior to install, and was told this, so i knew, Call them, they can help

I just went through this replacing the bars on my 2015 Ultra....these wrist angle measurements may not be perfect but they are close and will give you a good idea for comparisons.
Stock: 37.5 degrees
HD Reach bars: 45 degrees
Khrome Werks narrow sweepers: 37.8 degrees
Khrome Werks stretch : 25.5 degrees

I personally went with the Khrome werks stretch 2+2, grips are more parallel to fairing, also achieved 2 inches pullback and 2 inches higher.

I have a set of the HD Mini apes, that are twelve inches. They are too parallel to the tank for me. Send me a PM and I'll send you a pick of how they look compared to stock. I'm taking them off and looking for something that has more pull back. If interested, I'd sell for 150 with shipping to lower 48. I didn't need any extensions for the stock wiring but will if you have heated grips.

Do you still have the pics of mini apes VS stock bars? I'm looking for some 10 or 12 inch bars.
