Default Klock Werks Ergo bars?

Anybody try these? I'm looking to put them on my '16 FLHTK. I'm wanting to try a 2" higher and 2" back set of bars. I've tried holding an aluminum flag pole at the two inch higher height. That seems good and will still keep my paws below the wind stream on cold days.

When I kick back against the back rest, two of my fingers are off the stock bars. So that's where I'm thinking two inches back.

Anybody?

trying to hold a flag pole at that position only gives you a 'maybe' keep in mind, wrist angle can do a Lot to be comfortable or Painful. I am a short rider and have had fits over the years on 4 different HD. Trying to find the right bar. Then I saw and tried Helibars - very different but for me - they work GREAT they are not cheap but I did not have to buy 3 bars to find a 'maybe'

I had a set, ran them for a season, and then took them off. The issue was the wrist angle. Like No angle... basically a straight track bar.

Thanks for the info. Klock Werks has something similar. I don't have any pain issues, just looking for that little pull back. So I figured I might as well go a bit higher too.

So I ended up trying A LOT of bars over the years and ended up with Wild1 traditional bars. Great pull back and nice bends.
A couple I would recommend for a Batwing are below: Just have to decide how high you want to go.

1. WO578 10" high with 11" of pull back. These will be just below the top of the fairing.
2. WO577 12.5" high with 11" pull back. These will be an inch or two above the fairing.

If you do a search, you'll find a bunch of photos of them installed. For me higher was better. I ran the WO577s for a long time on several bikes. I now rock a Road Glide and use their WO572s which are 14" high. Love them.

Good luck on your search...

True dat.

I have these bars and they are indeed about 2" up/back with very little wrist angle, almost drag bar angle. I like them a lot, but that's my preference, I don't like much pullback.

Installed a set of the KW Ergo “back” bars and within weeks had replaced them with the WO578 bars because I found the wrist angle on the Ergos to be unbearable. YMMV
