Default knuckle bars on heritage

Anyone have pics of knuckle bars on a heritage ? Looking to change out my heritage bars to a knuckle style or shorter beach bars. Looking for low and pulled back , deluxe style . How do they handle on turns.

I tried them, but felt they were a little low and made me reach to far forward. What's your height and arm length.

There is a whole thread about this within the last few days.
Someone put them on a blue Deluxe.

I have the Chubby K'nucks on mine w/Chubby risers. I had the 518's before. And a few (several) others. The wife's 03 Heritage has the 508's. Those are like a wheel barrow. I hate riding her bike.

I like these. Wrist angle is perfect. Enough pull back with the risers.
Handlebars are tough. And as other people have pointed out on other threads, pick your seat out first. The seat changes everything.

Yeah - I put them on my bike a few weeks ago.





They're comfy...I'm sure I'll go to apes down the road though.

Love those WW. Mind if I ask where you got them and how much bucks? Thanks.

I like this look but like being comfortable better. Anyone know of bars that are low like these but a little more pullback?

Burley beach bars come back farther, if thats too much then look at the bikini bars they are a smaller version. If you want something crazy long look at the Longhorns...
