My mother rides a 2012 Tri Glide Ultra. She is 69 y/o and 5' tall. And I mean actually 5 feet tall. She was uncomfortable with the original handlebars becasue she was having to reach for them putting her leaning too far forward.

She tried a "reach" seat and hated it.

She had her bars changed on the bike but what was installed is not what she needs. So, She is looking for new bars and doesn't want to buy a bunch of them to find what she wants. She needs bars roughly 8 inches tall from the bar clamps with approximately 14 inches of pull back from the bar clamps with a 34ish" width.
I'm thinking KlipHangers or some sort of apes. Other suggestions?
Anyone have the same situation and what did you put on yours? Any help, advice or experiences would be appreciated.

 

Unless you don't want to buy HD, most dealers can size to fit.

 

I am much taller than Five ft. but different things to try change bars reduced reach seat adjustable floor boards. I used Khrome Werks 2+2 wide sweepers these gave me more leverage turning and really helped. Check out the seat at a HD store and possibly the adjustable floor boards

 

HD 2 1/2 inch pullback handlebars which I did. also they have a forward/closer seat which a friend of ours had installed. she also is only 5 feet tall.

 

riders backrest helps a lot it'll keep her more forward and give her something to push against when turning.

 

I had a set of Horizon ES Black HeliBars installed on my 2015 TriGlide while I was at the Sturgis Rally last month. As soon as I sat on the bike I fell in love. Hands down, this is the best set up I have found to let a short (5’ 3”) rider sit up straight. I can actually lean back against the rider backrest with my arms still bent at the elbow. Getting a better seating position is more important now that I’m getting older; my lower back does not like leaning forward. FYI, The MoCo “Reach” seats were a non-starter; I did not like half way sitting on the gas tank.

I went with Khrome Werks 2+2 Narrow Sweepers, grips are closer together than the Wide sweepers, having a 28" sleeve the narrow sweepers don't require me to reach as far when turning...

 

Another vote for HeliBars. You can put 100's of bars on, or a set of HeliBars.
Had mine for 2 years now, installed at Sturgis, wouldn't have anything else.

They are fully adjustable - up, down, in, out -- whatever you need.
Yes, they are expensive, but worth every penny

Do some internet research on them, triglide + horizon helibars -

 

I just put Khrome Werks 2+2 on the wife's trike. She loves them. Much better wrist angle. Happy wife!

HD pull back bars suck. All they do is angle the grip back to you with a funky grip angle. I would not recommend those to anyone. Had them on for two months. So if anyone wants a two month old set PM me, Cheap! LOL

 

HeliBars are expensive, but if you buy them at a rally, the same price includes installation.
