Default Reduced Reach Handlebars

I would like to install these as I lean slightly forward when I ride.

Has anyone installed these on a SGS? I would like to keep the fairing mounted mirrors. It seems like the fairing mirrors will work with the 14's but want to know first hand

Thanks

I've got the HD reduced reach bars on my '14 SG and have no issues with the stock fairing mirrors.

I have them as well and they make a nice difference, i am not leaning forward anymore.

I put a back rest on my stock seat and while i am flat footed i like to still be a little lower so i sent my stock seat off to Mean City.

I think these three mods are going to do it.

I wonder if these are the same bars that came on my Ultra Low. I like the pullback but wouldn't mind a little taller.

I'm with you Viper. Need to be taller. I had them raise mine as far as possible without hitting the inner fairing when I picked it up. Would still like them up and back another inch or two.

Done. Bought the bars, powder coated them black and installed yesterday. Yes the mirrors work great and I am sitting up straight. Thanks for all the help. And thanks to the posters who made threads on the step by step replacement.
