That is what I have been looking for. Stock bar is just not comfortable. I am 6'1' and just want something a little taller. Did you install yourself?
My dealer did the install, only charged me $60 bucks to install them. Had me sit on the bike with the bars loosely installed & had me position them where I wanted them before tightening them down fully (make sure you do this as well). Here's a few more "ugly" pics of how look (lol)...sorry pics are a little dark.

+1. Comfort is more important then looks though.

If you are considering changing grips I would doit at the same time being as they have to remove them anyway.

I am looking at changing my stock bars to these Heritage Style bars (09 FLHR W/ABS). I have read on here you can't change the bars with ABS. But on H-D's web site part #56902-08 it says nothing about ABS. Just looking for a straight answer before going to the dealership.

Fits '08-later FLHR, FLHRC, FLTR, FLTRU and FLTRX models. All models require separate purchase of additional components. Does not fit models with Sidecar, Heated Hand Grips with internal switch wiring, Hydraulic Clutch Kits, Handlebar Mounted Gauges, or Road Tech™ Riser Mount Radio.

I put Wild Ones 517 on my '09 Road King Classic. Brought the bars up and back. Uses stock cables. I'm very happy with the set up.

+1 for Heritage bars. They are much more comfortable than stock, and the stock cables reach on the '09.

Thanks guys, i stopped by the dealer and they said and showed my in the book that all stock cables will work except the throttle sensor cable which happens to be $90 ($10 more than the F-ing bars) I think I am still going to get the bars and cable total of 180 cheaper than most bars!!!
