I am looking at buying an Ultra Classic or Road Glide in the next 6 months or so. I thought I had my mind made up on a Road Glide but then I test road an Ultra this weekend. What a great ride and I was really surprised how easy it was to manuvere at low speeds. I honestly couldn't feel any difference from the Road Glide.

Whichever model I choose, I will be changing out the bars. My question to the many knowledge people on this forum is what handle bars are you running on your Ultra's/eglides? I have looked on the web at the Wild1 bars but it looks like the handgrip area is turned inward more than I like. I like my wrist straight with my knuckles pointing down the road.

So I am looking for suggestions on bars and why you like them. I want more height and pullback than standard.

WIld1 Chubbies 575's, or Kromeworks sweepers.
If you dont like your wrist too twisted, those are the best.
HD pull back bars twisted my wrist too much.
(this should be a sticky, or in the tech section)

 

I like the Khromewerks Sweepers. Nice pullback and great wrist angle for 1/2 the cost of the Wild 1's. No internal wiring though !!

 

I'm using the Wild 1 575 and I really like them. No more upper back pain after nearly a 700 mile road trip. They are higher and a bit further to the rear, and a world more comfortable. Something to consider is that the wires had to be extended a bit and I needed a 4 inch+ clutch cable because I wanted it in the stock location through the fairing. Also, the rubber grommets at the inner fairing are really tight because the bars are thicker.

 

I just had the "Wild 1 Chubby Bagger Bars" installed on my '06 Classic, and I can't say enough good things about them! I got them due to a torn rotator cuff, and needed the grips back further. This did the trick and they look great with the interior wiring.

I would highly recommend them.

 

Thank you for all the input. I will be looking at each of the bars mentioned.

I have the cyclesmiths 13'' they really did the trick for me and you can run the wires internal it does put the bars above the fairing though,they sale a 10'' which is basically the same height as stock but they are wider and straighter I have a bad elbow and couldn`t handle the stock bars. Try this trick with help from a friend bike level take a wire coathanger bend it to resemble what you want , then take measurements and see if there is something out there that closely resembles what you came up with,good luck your gonna love the ultra once you get it set up the way you want..Tom..
