What bars will work on a 2016 switchback without changing cables and brake lines? For instance like Softail or similar to get the bars so the lady would be setting up straighter instead of leanining into the stock ones,Thanks for any suggestions.

Remember that parking lot maneuvering with long buckhorn or pullbacks means the turns are a long reach and a worse forward stance.  Drag or a more conventional bar on pullback dog-bones may be a better solution.  With that comes another set of problems though.  With the loss of leverage it means with a heavy front end or wheel a bit of exercise at slow speeds or parking will be the norm and not for the weak.

Go to the Harley SIP, get past the country, language screens.

When you get to the page that has the search box in the upper right hand corner, search on the word "handlebar".

The first hit that should come up is a downloadable 230+ page pdf catalog titled something like HANDLEBAR_PDF_en_US_MAR2024.

That has tons of information regarding handlebar dimensions and associated cable lengths.

That and the OEM parts finder (for OEM part numbers) might be helpful to consider options.
