Default 2016 Road Glide Ultra Handlebars

Hello All,
Need some help out there, I recently bought a 2016 Road Glide Ultra and love the bike but the "turn in" on the handle bars is too much. I am looking for a 1 1/4" set of bars that flatten out my hands just a touch. I really don't want to go much wider on the overall bar. To give you an idea of what I mean, I would just like to take the existing bars I have and just turn the outside of my hands OUT and UP. Thoughts or recommendations ???? Thanks...

Describing what you would like is one thing, getting a set that you will be happy with is another. How about calling in on your local dealer and looking at the various touring range bikes, to see if one of them has bars that look better. There are at least five different bars on current models and your dealer may have others in stock. Some dealers also offer a 'fit' programme, to help you get your bike to fit you better and get more comfortable, so speak to your salesman. It's in their interests to keep you happy!

From what you have said, these would be an excellent choice....

Thanks for the input GRBROWN, that is actually the exact course I have taken. They have been pretty good about trying to help find an aftermarket bar that would fit nicely. The biggest issue they said they are running into is that because its a 2016 there just aren't that many options yet.
dfwhockey17 - I did look at the Klock Werks Ergo Bars and they look like what i want. It looks like they don't have them for the 2016 road Glide yet. They are an 1 1/4" dia bar so I am hoping they come out with something soon. Thanks for the heads up I will keep watching them and give them a call to see if they have something on the drawing board...

Thumbs up

That's great that they are looking after you, also that the MoCo recognises the desirability of getting it's customers comfortable. Let us know what you end up with.
