Anybody using these bars on their Electra Glide? If so do you have pictures? Do you
feel you have better control & are they more comfortable on an all day ride? I'm thinking
of adding these bars & getting a Mean City seat mod.I'm tired of that ice pick between
the shoulder blades feeling,and I know the seat can be more comfortable. Let's see those pictures.

I have them and love the comfort, I use to have lower back pain on longer rides and it is gone now, you sit more up and the bars come farther back to you, I'm 5'10" and they made a huge difference for me, I just got back from 2 weeks of touring and they were great

My indie says he has put 4 sets on & so far no complaints.
I'm wondering how much colder my hands will get this winter.
Guess I'll just have to figure on new gloves for winter.

I like 'em but it's all subjective.

I like 'em a lot, except on cold, cold days. My fingers freeze. Same for rainy weather.

Sometimes I wish I had shorter bars, like a 10".

I considered them, but I ride year-round and didn't want my hands above the fairing in the winter.

Why not put the 575's on? Still somewhat below the fairing. I have them on my Fatboy and love em. Going to put on my street glide.

I have a street glide but I think the basics are the same. I also took an 08 RG seat and had it sent off to MCC so I have what you want to do. I love the 577's and they do go just up to the top of the fairing and riding is very comfortable since your not hunched over at all. It's going to get a great test next week going to sturgis so I will have a lot to say after that. If I was you I would also check into the 14" chubbies. They come back another inch or 2 and if your short (5"10 or below), that might make a small difference. Below is a pretty good shot of how they look and how high and back they go.
