Default Handle bars for 08 1200c

I would like to get an idea for some good handle bars to make me a little more comfortable on my bike. I'm only 5' 5" and i feel like i have to lean forward to much. i would like to be able to set up a little bit more and not have to reach forward so much. Any ideas??? Thanks!!

You could always just change the risers to make it closer.

Or go with some like this......

I put the Sportster Pull Back Handlebars on my wifes 04 1200C. Part # 56021-04b ($99.95). You will have to change the brake line,clutch cable,throttle and idle cables. If you buy the Harley braided cables it will cost a bunch. I bought black vinyl cables from Barnett. Did have to use the HD brake line. I asked the dealer how much to change bars and they came back with a price of over $500. I almost fainted. Did it my self for lots less

Try a search for handlebar threads. Lots of information available.

Here is a good site for handlebar measurments. You can see pullback and other dimensions for your bike and others.

I replaced mine with 1200L bars - much more comfortable.

Used a set from a Dyna Low and reused everything but the brake line clip(had to fab one after gently reshaping the line). A little wider,higher and closer. Perfect for me without the ape look.
