sorry, no pics, but looks similar to keithhu's bike, only i didn't do the surgery. i just rotated the bars as far as they would let me and because i'm short, i was good with that position. and i'm 5'4''.... if that matters.
There has been some interest in Bars lately, so here is my contribution on the subject. My 17 & 18 had the HD Chizeled Bars installed before I ever rode the stock bars. The Chizeled were 14" and I liked them a lot, they were narrow , kept me behind the fairing and had a forward aggressive riding position. I rode those bars no less than 72,000 miles between the two bikes. When I got my 2020 Glide, I left the stock bars on and felt like I was riding a wheel barrow. Yesterday, I installed Factory 47 Legacy 12" bars, they are 4" taller and 4.5 " wider than stock. Out of the box the bars were perfect, so was the install. The only modifications to the bike besides the bars was two zip ties that are removed to free up some length of the Brake and clutch lines. No other Modifications at all were needed, all wires plug in without modification to the factory locations.
congrats the bars looks great
and I love that color scheme on the RG
well done!
Well, now that I got some miles on these bars I can report that for me they suck. Much too wide, So I ordered up some HD Tallboy bars. The thing is, I ran 36 wide bars back in 2013 and loved em. Guess my old body has changed some and my tight slow speed turns really suffer due to the width where I really have to stretch out to get lock to lock. So they will be hung from the rafters soon. Good Times!
That's why I went with the KST pathfinder, they are 32" wide with 0 pullback and about 32" the way I have them setup.
Which is the same width as the stock bars.

Let us know how you like the Tallboy, debating those for mine at moment.
What do you mean block your view of the turn signals?
seems obvious what it means but hope this explains it better for you....been considering swapping out my OEM bars...so reading up on reviews and have heard about some that interfere with seeing the TS indicators based on the height and / or width, orientation of the bars, as well as the rider's physical dimensions of course....definitely do not want that to be an issue but those factors can contribute to it being a problem
I though them being moved to the Fuel and Volts gauges was a little weird, but I suppose someone asked for it. Works fine, but my 14" bars do block them sometimes depending on how the bars are turned. No real issue though.
I would have rather them left the turn signal indicator on the center console but I guess they were looking to declutter that area or something.
