That is a Vulcan W-G on the bike above. I would have to believe the bars would fit the SuperLow just fine...that bike uses standard risers unlike the 48, correct? I don't have the number at hand, but Santee Wide-n-Low should suffice for search purposes. I think those bars came from either JP Cycle or Phats.

On my Superlow I've replaced the original handlebar with the HD cod 56051-06 that fit perfectly and is not expensive. (see attachements for details)

The SuperLow upper tree does have integral handlebar clamp.

What about a 1200C without changing the stock riser? What bar (part # please) would give me a little more rise and pullback that I can get away with and NOT have to change the wires as they seem to be the more limiting item? I don't mind having to change the brake line, and there seems to be some length in the throttle and clutch to deal with. I believe I read the extended reach bar works but I don't think it's enough. Anyone with real world experience? I love the forwards, and I am 5'8". Just need some suggestions from someone who has done this and pics if possible. I have read a lot of threads and still it is not clear. TIA

I'm watching this too. I have 2013 custom. Can only find specs on riser for mine.
Looking at HD 56021-04b - custom pull-back and HD miniape 56079-93t and several alternatives from jp. Kind of wondering if the custom pull-back is standard.?.

Coming from an 09low which had really harsh ride but perfect seating position for me - this 2013 is a stretch for both feet and hands . I'm hoping moving hands back will make it tolerable.

I am actually looking at trying mids before messing with handlebars. I've sat on it with feet in position of mids and feels much better.

The stock bars on the 72 are actually comfortable (10" rise). I'm considering going to 12s just because I want something a little taller.

If you like the bars just add taller rises

skyflyer, your photo links dead. is it possible for u to put those 2 pics with mini apehanger.

I am about to buy Mini ape handle bar and couldn't see the photo for 8.75 mini apehanger.

Everyone is talking about 10" handle bars but there is none on the official website of HD
