Default Handlebars - softail

Hello, I would like to mount a handlebar on my fatboy who has a low profile.
Interests me the wild1 WO555 But apparently nobody has mounted yet and I'm afraid to take it because maybe a pullback has too less than the original.
I also like Mentele has a good pullback but it seems a little wide and difficult to use in tight maneuvers.
What do you advise?

Note that I assemble the nacelle as the king and then I would not mount risers high.
Thanks

Not much pull back in those bars, I had the beach bars on my springer and loved them I could turn lock to lock no problem

I have the Mentele bars. They do not have a whole lot of pull back but they have way more control than the stock bars.

The mentele very much and have a good pullback handlebars similar to the original (Mentele 11.8 ", Stock 11), but is wider (35.4 Mentele, stocks 31.4).
When I was the Road King had mounted handlebar measures of Mentele and during tight turns and maneuvers in the standing had some difficulty being wide enough .... What do you think?
Thanks
