What this chart is about:

This chart is trying to display the correct handlebars for 1952-1984 Harley K-models and Iron Sportsters. If one of the component names in the table above becomes a link, that means that part has been figured out and put in the detailed BOM.
Comment at the harleyKmodel site.

Dr. Dick from the XLForum and HarleyKmodel sites was kind enough to provide a detailed list to help perfect the Rev 3 version. Here it is pasted in for posterity:

Here is some deeper info for your handle bar page.
i do believe this covers every production K-model and Sportster bar 1952-1972.

As far as factory fitments:
1967 and newer is pretty clear by using part cat listings
1966 and older not so much.
ie: long bars were fitted up to at least 1960 probably by dealer order, book says E57.
