VN2000 Handlebars

[darren32]

Does anyone know the stock measurements of the handlebars for a 2004 VN2000?
I tried to measure them but I don't think I am doing it right???
I would like to get some bars that put the controls a couple of inches closer to me. I am looking at the Baron Big Johnson W = 38" R = 5" PB = 13" but I can't figure out if these will put the controls closer or not.

Thanks for the help

I need to bring mine about an inch closer too. I've held onto a set of Phat risers until I can come up with a good way of cutting into the Nacelle without it looking homemade.

You will be better off getting a set of mini apes. That way you can get the pullback you want without doing anything to the nacelle.

That's probably the easiest way.

Thanks Shawn. I prefer that if I can find handlebars that I like. I need the pullback more than the rise, and not extreme...just about an inch. I'm headed out now and I'll check the Motorcycle Accessories store. I appreciate the suggestion.

Ya, I'm with drivenrhythm. I like the stock bars, I just need 2" more pull back and I don't want any more height.
Stock = width 34.5, height 8.5, PB = 14
The only thing I can find is close to stock width and height is the flanders wide max pull back width 33, height 9, PB 18.5 but this is quite a bit more pull back than I want. Also, I think with 1 - 2" more pull back you may be able to use most of the stock cables but with 4.5" more I doublt it. Let me know if you find anything drivenrhythm.

Thanks
