Hi, I have a 2012 48 I want to change the Bars to get about 1" to 2 higher and reduce the reach also by 1 to 2 inches. I would rather not change the cables or brake lines.
Does anyone have any suggestions?
Perhaps Mini-Apes Satin black?
thanks, Barrier

 

If you like the stock unit and just want some raisers for it...

Harley's bars are not that expensive... specially if you get them from an online dealer that provides 20% discount..

Thanks Wachuko. I also looked at the Harley model # 56085-83A it is pretty much the same except more rise and pullback. I can get that from a discount dealer at 20% off. I like the risers alone but they would cost more than the full bars. It also appears that these bars could use the original cables, brake lines etc.
Too bad I cannot try them out.
Oh Well.

Barrier , here's some photos of the bars you mentioned 56085-83A.

I like them alot.
Everything but the brake line fits , I just tweaked the steel portion outward and made a 1" wide bracket to stabilize it.

Before you buy new bars, have you tried adjusting your current ones, to see if you can get them closer to what you would like? Costs no more than a little time!

 

grbrown, That is a great idea!
I did not even think of trying to adjust.
I saw a method of sitting on the bike with my eyes closed and reaching to see where my hands fell. For me it appeared to be about an inch or so back and an inch or so high. I don't know if adjusting will do that. I will see.
Thanks, Barrier
