'19 FLHXS Handlebar Options
#11
You can also go with the curved pull back riser. That’s what I did on my wife’s bike with the reach seat. Left the stock handlebars and it worked. It also saves you money since you don’t have to re run the wires in the bars. I believe the pull back both raises and pulls them back. That keeps the bars in the same position essentially. By raising them via the riser then adjusting them down to give you more pull back doesn’t really change the stock angle. Hope that made sense.
Edit: Pics please.

Damn sorry your right my bike is a 2019 Street Glide Special. My wife’s is a 2019 Sport Glide. I got confused because I changed my bars (and a whole lot more) and her riser. The only other option I’m aware of is this but idk if I would want to relocate my switch. My apologies for getting your hopes up.

Yes they are the WO579, and they do have them in black, but only flat black, if your a vet let them know and they will tell ya how to apply for a discount on your order, guessing a 2 inch back and higher, but you can adjust them to your liking, done moved them at least 4 or 5 times before I found where I like them. Tomorrow I will go out and take a measure to be sure, she is asleep right now.

I have the Wild One Chubby Bagger Low on my SG, wife has the Khromewerks 2+2 on her SG.
I would say they are almost identicle in rise and pullback. Difference being the chubbies are 1 1/4 bars which I prefer. They only come in chrome and flat black. I was luckey enough to find a returned set on Amazon for 80 bucks and had them powder coated gloss black for 40 bucks.
I did have to add mirrors on the bars because my hands blocked the fairing mirrors.
I am 6' 2" and these bars are the best mod I have made to the bike. No more pain between the shoulders and they made slow speed maneuvering a breeze compared to the stockers.

The bars retain the stock grips, it is only past the grips that they differ. Again I will say that I kept the fairing mirrors as I am also about 5' 4" - 5' 5" and seem to only see the top my knuckles in the mirrors the way I have them adjusted. Hope this helps, also I have the Industrial Grey Matte Street Glide Special and thought I would of prefer the bars to be gloss black, but a coat of wax on them before install and some Top Coat F11 and am good with the way they look on the bike.

We both love the bars, not to high or back too far.
And as Hawg said, you use any grip that will fit stock bars on the 11/4 bars.

Question about ur wo579, have heard few folks complain or they don’t like how wide they are. I’m curious what do you think of that. Are they really that wide that it’s a problem? I’m ready to get rid of my khromewerks narrow 2+2, I’ve tried adjusting them every way but still get shoulder pain. Thank you
