I'm thinking of swapping the stock handlebars on my '11 Roadster to something narrower for easier lane splitting / filtering, and I was wondering if anyone can recommend specific bars / part #s to meet the following criteria:
(1) Similar ergonomics to stock bars, just narrower than the stock 35" (not looking for apes or drag bars)
(2) No need to replace cables and brake lines. Since the bars will be narrower, they'd probably need to be slightly taller to compensate.
(3) Adequate tank clearance at full tilt
(4) Preferably the bars would work with the stock risers
I'm thinking perhaps some H-D Sportster or Dyna bars might fit the bill, and I see @Joker has made such a swap. I was hoping to avoid trial and error, so I'd appreciate if someone can recommend a proven setup.

I just went to the garage to eyeball it, and that might just work. I'd be tempted to cut 2-3 inches from each end, the only potential concern might be the clutch cable becoming too long / difficult to route.
