Default Recommend me some new bars!!!

Handlebars are pricy. I would love to not buy 2, 3 or 4 pairs trying to find what I want. I have a 2005 Electra glide. I recently put a street glide seat on the bike and I love it. However it sits me quite a bit further back. Looking for some sort of handle bar fix to get the bars closer to my body. Wha do you guys reccomend? Of course pictures always help!

Okay not a lot of hits on this one. After reading as much info as I can perhaps this will help. My stock bars are 7.5" height with 12.5" pull back. Looking for bars that are 8",9",10" height with slightly more pullback. I have browsed jp cycles for hours but it's such a pain in the *** clicking each bar I like to find out its 10" height with 5.5" pullback

Wild 1 Chubby Bars have a lot of pullback and a good wrist angle for me. They can be rolled back or pushed forward.

I don't know how many dealers have this, but the dealer in Clovis, NM had a fit shop.

http://www.harley-davidson.com/conte.../fit-shop.html
Click on find shop on that page, and put in your zip code.

It's basically a mock Harley frame that you can sit on. They can quick swap bars, seats, peg position. It's an easy way to find what fits you best without buying everything. You can then use that info to look for what you need to change.

Maybe these? I installed Factory47 14" on my bike and have been very happy with them.
