One thing I often forget to mention is if you lift your fuel tank bagger bars may not clear the lift. that was one of the reasons I went to the 2+2 wide sweepers that and the grip angle no more wrist pain for me. Ride safely fearless

When the time comes for me to go to a Tri-Glide I will have Helibars.

You said no wire extensions but what about cables.

Did you need to replace any cables or wires.

Anyone ever replace their bars with the ones off a Heritage Classic? I played the "musical handlebar" game on my RK and found the Heritage bars to be the best fit, for me.

Well the "time" came for me last fall and I bought a new '18 Tri-Glide and had the Helibars installed.
I also had heated grips installed at the time these bars were installed.

Expensive, but what's a few hundred more bucks when you've already spent thousands on a toy that you like and want and will make more comfortable to ride?

FWIW, I went with W.O.'s 577's on my '13CVO Ultra but the labor and parts (extended wiring and hoses) was much more than were the Helibars, which surprisingly required for extra parts and the labor was less due to the wiring being external on the bars vs having to be re-routed through the bars.

Ya know Clint, I have been wondering the same thing. I had no problems with my bars on my Heritage. But will the bars fit in the touring faring ?

I have the 12" KST Six Benders on my '16 Tri and love them. Didn't have to extend anything and the 1 1/4" bars were a breeze to pull wires through.

I installed a Dragonfly batwing fairing on my RK and the Heritage bars cleared it, w/o any problems. The Heritage bars are cheap, too.

It seems the Khrome Werks 2+2 handlebars are a very popular mod. Since they come in a Narrow or Wide application, I'm wondering which way to go. It would seem the Wide 2+2's would give you more leverage, than the Narrow units, but I will defer to those of you that have fitted either, to your Harley trikes.
