Default Flanders handlebars

Hello All, currently own. A 1975 fxe superglide, I.am wanting to buy a new set of bars to replace the oem buckhorns. Does anyone out here have any experience with the flanders bar, and a good fit , not wanting apes or drag bars, something similar to stock with more with and some pullback, I have long arms, thanks

Not sure what bars you're referring to as Flanders was originally a company, not just a single style of bars. Here's a link that has pics of all the Flanders offerings-

I ordered some Flanders bars last year but never heard back or received anything. Which is ok because they never took my money. After several unanswered emails and phone calls over a couple month period, I gave up and bought some Wild One Reapers from a different company

I used flanders and beach bars on my sporty but can't say much about fit on a shovel. However, I believe the flander and beach bars are wider and have more pullback but less rise.than stock.

Are you sure that is what you want...did you compare measurements? I have shorter arms and wanted to sit straight up with my bars closer to me. I would think longer arms would need something farther away.

Here are a few pics of the flander and beach bars on my sporty....again have no idea on how it would fit a shovel.
