Thank you grbrown - and yes i hear you - i tried every possible position i could with the stock bars - i was actually forced to during a multi day trip though the states where i just could not get relaxed. i swore no more long rides till i get this sorted out with taller, more pulled back bars. i wish it was only a matter of position as i really prefer the look of the stock bars, but function has won out over style i guess

 

Plus 1 on the Superlow bars. At 5' 6", I find them very comfortable.

 

I have 14" apes on mine and love them. Very comfortable! 2015 sporty 48

 

Thanks Texas Trash, just wondering how tall you are, much appreciated

 

I'm 5"8" (old also - used to be 5'9" haha) I've tried the Biltwell Chumps and they didn't give me what I was looking for. The best bars for my situation are the Heritage Softail Classic bars. I had a set in the basement and mocked them up on my '06 1200R. They put me in my perfect riding position. The brake line, cables, etc. would have to be changed, and I didn't want to stray far from the bike's originality, so I put a set of 2015 1200T bars (57209-11) on the bike and it much improved my seating position over the stock bars without changing out cables, wiring, etc.

 

Thanks Atrox88, i feel the same, like i don't want to stray too far from the original look - also, that 1200R is so badass - and I love the bar set up in the pic - very suited to the bike. Always wanted an R series

 

I think that's what I have on mine? Looks fairly similar doing a Google search on that part #. Here's my bike with the Superlow bars (excuse all the scratches, previous owner must have washed the bike with sandpaper ):



The position is WAY more comfortable (i'm 5'10" by the way, with longer legs and shorter arms).

 

don't worry, i'll remember to post pics, i'm a picture ***** lol i'm dropping the bike off at my friends shop Thursday, it's supposed to rain fri, sat, and sunday, so hopefully I can get it back early next week.

 

I have Harley tall boy bars on mine. Love em.
