they are the same price, just get the heritage style....... unless you just prefer to do extra work.

I know a dealer nearby that has a mix & match room of old bones from customer installs and such, perhaps he will have a set some Heritage bars in the room.
Thanks to all for the info

With winter coming on fast here I am narrowing down my bar choices for my RGU as well. I want something that will move my hand position up and back some So I don't feel like I am all stretched out when I am riding. From what I have found I think I will go with either the +2 wide sweeper or the 1.25" heritage style bars from Khrome Werks. I was able to find some pictures of RGs with these bars installed over on www.roadglide.org where mtclassic told you to look as well.
Here is the link to all of the Khrome Werks handle bar specs http://www.khromewerks.com/handle_bars_specs.htm

I should add that from what I read either set can be used with the stock cables and wiring.

And from what I a reading, the Heritage STYLE bars are not going to give me what i need. I need to be 2 to 3 inches further back, and at least 2 inches narrower or the grips need to be angled further back to hide my cold fingers behind the windshield.
So I am now looking into some aftermarket bars that will do so, I will have to deal with extend control cables, but it sounds like I would have had to anyway.
If you know someone that can kick start my posting privileges over at roadglide.org, give them a little prodding for me, saw numerous post I would love to respond to, and many, many questions to ask!!!!

and cut out the hole in the bottom middle for the tbw harness....

actually, not the first. there are a ton of people who have done this. these bars are very popular for the road glide crew. they are basically 1'' higher, and 1'' more pullback.

But from all the reading I have been doing, it looks like I am going to have to go to aftermarket bars and extend some controls and such, oh well, winter is now being planned...

Do those bars+windshield keep the wind off your fingers???
I see your in OH, similar weather as here in KCMO, so if it works for you, it gives me a good idea???
Thanks

As far as the wind...No, the bars are wider than the windshield so they are in the wind somewhat, but it doesn't bother me. I do love those Wild 1 bars..... go to www.wild1inc.com and you can see more sharknose's with different bars. There's a link on the left side to 'bike photos, my bike is on there.
I live in IL...next door neighbor
