If you are looking to put streetglide bars on your road glide I doubt they will fit. the base width on the batwing bars is pretty wide. I just changed out my bars to 06 wideglide bars and they are just incredible. No cracks about my pigsty of a garage either

both, wider and closer, I've got mine tilted back and I get NO more wirst pain or shoulder and neck stiffness. FWIW there are quite a few folks here that have these bars on their RG's I also had a set of pullback touring bars on my old 03 road glide and the wideglide bars win hands down. They also put the mirrors out so you can actually see behind you without having to do a MC hammer shift [8D]

Page 618 of the '08 P&A catalog has specs on a lot of HD handlebars.

JW: Do you have a part number for the Wideglide bars?

I'm trying to figure out which bars would come closest to the specs of the Street Glide bars as far as rise, pullback, etc. I rode those bars for 8k miles and never had a problem with my wrist. So it is kinda like get what you know. I know alot of people use Wide Glade and Geritage bars. But everybody is different. Don't want to have to go through several different bars trying find the right ones.

specs are one thing, but they dont take into account the angle the bars hit your wrist at. I had a set of heritage bars on a softail standard and they bound up my wrists. For me I do not like my wrists flexed and fingers pointing out to the side. I like a anatomically correct postion. I also like my elbows out a bit from my body. You could go to a dealer and sit on some bikes. Only problem with that is the usually push the wideglide bars forward to hype the ape factor. good luck with your quest
