Seone told they had put a set of the bullet trails handlebars on thier classic 500 and didn't have to change cables.  I just took a quick view on youtube. Those look like exactly what I have been searching for.
Anyone have the measurements for these bars or a link to purchase them?
Part number anything would help.

I don't know if the cables are different but I have a 2020 Trials and am a little concerned that the clutch cable isn't quite long enough as however I adjust the lever there seems an uncomfortably sharp angle as the cable leaves the lever.  ???

Loosen the housing and turn the clutch cable downward a bit.

Update.  I found a guy on facebook that has them on his classic. He even had a video published so I could see the position.   I went ahead and purchased a set of trails bars.  I found the royal Enfield part number and found a set on ebay.  It will probably take  a month.  i have done business with this supplier and they take their time. Pretty excited to they them out.

I did that, but the angle is still too sharp for my liking - I suspect the cable will eventually break at that point.

The UCE Thunderbird has a longer clutch cable, since it had much taller handlebars

Well I researched and found the part number for the OEM trials bar.
Part #145989. I ordered it off ebay. It arrived 9 days after placing order.  The bars went on with no issues
 No cable rerouting etc.  They seem to have same width and pullback. They have about an inch or inch and a half of rise and the bars ends are level instead of the downward pitch of the oem bars. The bars ends being level give the perception of taller bars.  These are exactly what I have been looking for..  no more downward pressure on my upper body.  They provide a more upright position . I cant explain how happy I am to find these.  They have increased the enjoyment of riding this bike even more.

You can still use trials bars on the trails though. 😉
Off route, recalculate?
