Default bars

Yeah, I really like the offset bend in the bars for some reason. And, I may convert to a batwing fairing in the future, so it makes sense to go this route.

I hear both of you talking about adding fairings latter down the road. The aftermarket fairings DON'T NEED the bend bars. They use the standard bars, as the bars on aftermarket fairings don't come threw the center of the fairing like the factory does. And don't necessitate the bend. Even the better brands like Hoppe, and Woodys, are meant for traditional Road King/Road Glide bars. If its all about the looks of the bend bars, I totally get that. But the bend is not needed on aftermarket, bolt on fairings.

Damn, I like that look. Are they any taller or more pullback than the stock Rushmore RK bars?

Cool...I like the look of the bend in bars with windshield. I'm going after the same style but with the "meathook" pointed style bars instead...enjoy!
