HD Sportster Handlebars

I am thinking about changing my buckhorns to something a little wider.

Does anyone know if the following will fit:

Stock Handlebars off 2008 Harley Davidson Nightster, Black.

I think I can get them for $25. But I do not know if I will need longer cables or risers to avoid hitting the tank.

Does anyone have picts if they have these bars?

Thanx!

The handlebars I am looking at I wished were not black. I think they might look good against the risers. By the way the seller of the sportster bars gave the following dimensions: Bar Diam = 1" Height - 6" Width - 32" Pullback - 10" Center - 6" Clamp Area - 2.5"x4.5"

Thanks for the great picts and info!

I am looking to improve my handling. My buckhorns pinch my elbows in a bit and I have to roll my elbows up when getting sporty in a turn.

My thought is a little wider will improve my push into a turn...

So 32" would be the way I would like to go.

Does anyone have thoughts on this?

It is a good idea as long as you do not stretch too much in a turn. On my other bike I went from a 28" to 32" bars and I do have to stretch a little more in a turn but it is manageable. I am in a more comfortable position while riding. My bars are not buckhorn style but rather more ape hanger style while not being age hangers. They are custom.
