Default Bars for 15 & up Road Glides

Looking for bars for my 16 RGS. Looking at Factory 47 and Road6. They both make bars to fit the 15 up RG. I like the 1.5" diameter of the Factory 47's. Road 6, I like the style but hate the plugs. Wild 1, you have to purchase a $120.00 clamp to make their bars work on RG's which pretty much eliminates them from consideration. Spend almost $400 on their Reapers then another $120 for a clamp - no thanks. Any other bars made for 15 & up RG's that I should consider?

I bought Wild1 Chubby Reapers slightly used for $250 shipped off ebay, they used factory clamp. Don't give up on Wild 1's You just might find a deal.

I have really liked the Paul Yaffe's I picked up. 12" and no need for any extensions.

I have a set of Outlaws on order. Sat on a bike with them and they are perfect.

I went with 12" Factory 47 bars this time and am really happy. The gloss black powdercoat was prestine. Expensive? Hell yes but without needing anything but the bars, the swap was well worth it.

Yaffes are a direct bolt on. But they're 1.25" so if you like the fat 1.5" F47's than its no help.

I went with the 12" F47's and love them. Chrome is perfect. Comfort is dead on.

^ I wasn't saying that the Factory 47 bars were the only direct bolt on option. I just used that as one more justification, in my opinion, to spend more on the bars since they are pricey. If I would have needed to do wires, cables and brake lines to get the bars to fit, I probably wouldn't have spent that much on bars alone.

I've had Wild 1's in the past and after getting the Factory 47's, the fit and finish is much better. The 1.5" size looks perfect with a touring bike as well.

The bar is one seemless piece so no goofy endcaps. They installed very easily. And they are on sale right now!
