Hi

I have standard bars on my bike but want to lower the stance.

I have found - https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/22mm-7-8-inch-Motorcycle-Drag-Handlebar-70CM-Iron-Bar-For-Harley-Custom-Bobber-/401334720147?hash=item5d7169d693:g:D9EAAOSwcB5ZKBWF

Would the above fit whilst keeping all the stock controls?

Cheers

As they're 22mm I don't see why not.
The controls shouldn't be a problem and any excess cable may need to tucked away a bit.
The only possible snag I can see is, as they have little rise compared to stock, they might clout the tank on full lock.
They may be fine though
For a tenner its a small risk and you could lift them a little if you had to.

Edit
a quick google shows other have done it
