First figure out what a stock bar bend is...you can use the "raptor bend" from most other bar manufacturers to get close to the OEM specs.  Then use those specs to compare to the specs listed for the bars you have in mind.  Most will have a nice chart showing you what each dimension refers to.

Those are the SE's

Most bends are 2+" shorter than the raptor and a bit wider unless its a mini/youth bar.

Im gonna be going with the HENRY/REED bar WITH a 3" Pivot handlebar riser (leftover from my sleds :D)

Reason being is I want a bit higher, this setup with give me about +1 height, it will have about 1.25 less pullback, and A bit wider (31.5) which I will be cutting back to the raptors stock 30.5 or so.
