Default I know nothing about Handle Bars, but .....

I want to move my grip back a couple inches, I feel like i am leaning forward to much. I think I like the placement or angle, I would just like it back a few or a couple inches.
I have read a lot about 2+2, and f47 and yada yada yada, which really is greek to me.

So for someone that is going to have either the dealer or an indy shop install them, and does not want to buy 3-4 sets of bars to test, what would be the best and safest bet?

Again, all i "think" i want is back 2-3 inches, but not so much that a rewire is needed, thanks everyone

Oh, '14 ultra limited

Thanks again

I have a set of stock bars off of my 15 ultra limited low if you are interested.
I do believe that they are swept back like 2" compared to a standard ultra.


IM me if you are interested.

Is there any way we can verify that, I would hate to pay and then they are identical, or worse.

Thanks

If you read this review for my bike you will see where it says the bars are swept back to put the grips 2" closer to the rider.

Instead of changing the handlebar, why not add risers?!

I put the Harley 2" back bars on mine and wish I would have done it since day one. Way more comfortable for me and I'm 6' tall.
I'm pretty sure Harley 1016 is correct about the low handlebars. A simple cross reference will answer that question.
Do a search on here on changing out the bars. A member here did a nice video on doing the job. If not for him I may never of did it and surely not paying $800 to the dealer to do it.

What, 800 bucks? Ouch
Just may need to give it a go if I get some bars. I just feel like i am reaching and resting my palms on them to hard.

Thanks for the input

Fmy street glide was that way. I put on Krome Works +2 sweepers. They come back 2" and are a but wider. They're under $100.00 for the bars. I loved mine.
