RE: Need closer handlebars or gonna sell!
Ihave an 07 FXD and had the same problem but I new that when I bought the bike.
I'm just a hair over 5' 6" tall and the St Bob/Wide Glide mini apes(P/N 56079-93) with 10.25" Rise tilted back just a little work just fine for me with a Mustang seat that seems to setback about 1".
When I first got the bike I had a pair of used chrome mini apes P/N 56563-95 with 8.75" Rise and they worked fine as well.

I have a 06 superglide custom. Nice bike but... the bars are about 2-3 inches to far forward for me. I need to change the bars or else sell it for comfort reasons. Any ideas? I was told the Heritage bars are a possible solution by the dealer. To me the bars have to fit right. I am 5ft 9 must have short arms. Need a solution.

You can look in the Harley catalog or some of the aftermarket ones like Drag Specialties, Custom Chrome or V-Twin. Ask your local shop or dealer what they have in stock for you to hold up and try out.
Good luck and DON"T SELL THAT HARLEY.

Tom,
I saw those risers in J & P s catalog. Looking to put them on my sb. Keeping stock bars.
How does the pull back compare to stock riser? They claim 2". Is that fairly accurate. Any increase to height? I see that you have a tank lift installed so apparently that presents no problem with the new riser.
BTW, very nice bike.
Thanks, Keeg
