Removed wiring, etc. Took several hours measuring, swapping back and forth bars with seat back on and my Bikers pal behind me. Difference is so small it’s hard to tell if there is even one. Measured pull back, width. There some small differences but I think they cancel each other. Very disappointed. Would not have spent the money and invested the time to get the results I got. Putting the original bars back on. Will find a sucker, I mean purchaser, to buy the new ones at a deep discount. Not happy right now. See no other factory option. Will find an answer before I’m done. New bars are Harley Reach, # 55800715.

Thanks for being the beta tester. I was also thinking about installing the reach bars on my FXLR but now I will look for other options.

Default Reach Handlebars

Thank you friend. You saved me a lot of valuable time. I wonder if Surdyke HD will take them back? They seem reasonable people.
