I like the bars you are running. Wondering how much adjustability there is forward and back without chancing wiring chaffing/ damage? I am trying to figure out what pullback I need. I kind of like the stock bar pullback but want to bring my hands up to shoulder height. I notice the pullback on most aftermarket are 7-8" where stock is 11". If I can get the taller bars and roll them back enough to maintain current reach to bats I would be good. Thoughts? I am trying to wait to see if I can sit on a bike that has what I am looking for before purchasing but growing impatient.

Gathering information for a "friend" of a friend. he called me, and wanted me to do the bar swap, I told him no problem.
After researching parts (through HD) he may change his mind, parts alone were going to run him over a grand.
Just shaking the bushes to see if I can garner some good info for him.

@LP, you took the words out of my mouth!
@Safety, your limited is looking tight!
I thought you bumped your head, and decided to come back to the "TANK"!
Also for more info, check out RoadGlide.org.

Check out board tracker online with the HD fat apes, when I put my parts list together it was going to be less than $430.00 for parts, but I was not going to change out the lower brake lines to match the new hydraulic cables.

I had a 2011 RGU... I like my batwing WAY better... but that's just me.

Wish they would offer a RG Limited... but they don't, so I might either save 10,000 dollars and convert this one (doubt it) or trade or most likely just forget the whole thing.
I have had really good luck buying cables, bars, and such through phatperformance. Saved a few dollars going that way for non-HD parts. Just an option.
Standard batwing bar bushings/mounts should work for any 1 inch bar your friend selects.

I went with the HD chizeled apes. Harley's website says they are 14", but they are actually 16" from the top of the riser bar to the top of the handlebar. If you measure from the middle of the riser bar to the top, it is 18". (Not sure how you are supposed to measure) I used the stock clutch and brake cables, but needed the wire extensions.
