FXR Division Road Glide Bars

Sweet looking rides! Love the new CVOs!! Anyone have pics with you holding the bike up and arms on the bars or could take one? I'm curios on the reach and if your leaning forward. I'm 5'9" and leaning towards the 12" bars. But I do like to be able to relax on long cruises and do not want to be leaning forward. A little worried about not having any pullback to these bars.

Thank you, I'm really enjoying the bike. Here are a few different pics I have from the angle your asking, they are very comfortable and make the bike more responsive. They look tall because there isn't any pullback, when sitting on the bike I can see the gauges over the bars.
And for reference, here is a pic with the 10" Factory 47 Signature bars (also a great quality set of bars).

As far as dealing with either company both seem friendly and answer questions on their product. I have only contacted FRX Division lately and they are great to talk with, even asked me to call and discuss returning the 10" bars, to me that is great service. But as of now I'm offering them to someone else at a good deal.

I switched because of the bar width, the Factory47 bars are great and great craftsmanship but they are wide. With 5 shoulder surgeries in the last two years on my left shoulder the wide grip would cause problems with a few of the plates still in there, on long rides. So when I saw the FXR with a narrower grip span I jumped on them, great bars and craftsmanship as well. So long story short I wanted to try the narrow bars to see if it would help, I still have the Factory47's in case it does not work out, but I think they will be going away soon.

When you say "my arms are straight, maybe slightly angled" are you referring to the elbows being slightly angled? Wish I could try these bars out before purchasing!

When I'm talking straight vs slightly angle I'm referring to hand level to shoulder level comparison, my arms are slightly bent for the 10" bars and will see on the 12" bars. So that is level of hands to level of shoulders.

The width was 37.5" wide on the Factory47 bars.
