I have a 2012 Flhr that I put heritage softail bars on. At first they were great because the stock bars sucked so bad. Now after riding a few miles I find that they are not that much better. Everything fits pretty good but they still have my wrists cocked in to much. It causes my hands to fall asleep. I have a 87 fxlr with buck horns and they feel great. I have ridden this bike for 6 years. Anybody got any suggestions other than stock,heritage stile.I don't think reaching up high is going to be comfortable to me either. Thanks for any help. Wrist position is my only gripe on these bars. They need to be turned out some more and maybe more up and down if you know what I mean.

 

Did you use the Heritage Style bars, or the 09 Heritage bars (56569-09)
The wrist angle on the "style" bars sucks. The 56569-09 have to be modified for TBW, but are much better. Check sig pic.

 

When I had my Heritage I replaced stock Heritage bars with these. Much nicer bar with a good wrist angle. I did not like the Heritage bars at all.

Are heritage bars the same as "Beach Bars"?

55967-08

 

No they are different. Beach Bars are low and wide and Heritage bars are higher 10" to 12" rise almost like a mini ape.

Perhaps I've been around too long, but $ 300 bucks for a set of handlebars seems unreasonably expensive to me.

 

Khrome Werks + 2 Sweepers? I like them.

 

I used the Heritage stile bar #56902-08. It was better than stock but not what I need.

 

Hey casper are you running the +2 sweepers. I agree $300 is a lot for a set of bars.

 

Have you tried tilting them back? Just be sure they clear the tank lock to lock.
That's what worked for me, in line with the forks were no good...
Be sure to level everything on the bars when done, my .02
