I am spanking new to this v rod world. I just picked up a 2006 VRSCR that was dropped. I am having one heck of a time finding stock bars. Can someone please help me out either with take offs or where to get new ones? I am trying to put this bike back together to ride on a tight budget.
VRSCR handle bars

Unless you're young and like riding around bent over on the bars all the time I wouldn't recommend stock R bars. I replaced mine with black '07 R bars and front brake hose which are a bit higher and really liked it, then got older and replaced them with black late model DX bars which are higher yet. Did not use the DX riser I used the stock R bar clamps, DX bar bend clears R clamshell - the clutch flex hose is long enough but you'll need a DX front brake hose P/N 41800134 for those DX bars to rotate aft, and a little wire rerouting but it all works very well, much more comfortable and still low enough for that racer R look. Used parts are out there as well but new bars are best, not bent. New bars & a brake hose are not cheap like $ 260 so check the salvage yards - you might luck out - also any 1" bars with a similar bend like sportster bars may fit with no need for a front brake hose - just ask a few dealers what they might have as take-offs

?????????????????????
What does this have to do with bars?
Is the parts list required to use something other than the stock handlebars on my particular V rod.
Now I see why you ask that question. It’s a good one! Sorry for my response.

No, parts list not required for aftermarket ......... you said you wanted stock ........... SSR also suggested bars from other years, which you can lookup part #'s and prices through Ronnies microfiche ...........

I really like the DX bars they're very light, taller and more swept back than stock '06 or '07 R bars - also the sweepback gives more leverage over the front end, puts rider body weight farther aft and makes the bike easier to turn. I can even see the color of my airbox cover, not just the front fender Only small downside is stock R H-D sport windshield is a bit short for sitting more upright - not really a big factor, and if you don't use a W/S not a factor at all -
