Default Handlebar suggestions

Not looking to raise my hands although a little wouldn't hurt my feelings.


Stock is pretty good, however I have really broad shoulders and my wrists are sore after a long day.


Looking for something with less pull back, more square to my shoulders.


2015 Ultra Limited


Any suggestions?

I have 10" LA choppers. They put my hands hands just under the wind from the fairing, but still have been hit by a bug or two. Love the position my hands are in, even after a 3 day 2,000 mile trip. It's a very natural position for me. It's always best to sit on a bike with bars to find ones you like.


Kinda wondering why a 9" isn't available. A 9" would allow the fairing to protect you while still giving you a fist in the wind (w/o the wind) feeling.

I put Wild Ones (WO578) on my SG and it helped out tremendously. They put my hands just even with the top of the fairing.

I just installed Chubby WO578 10" on my (new to me) 2015 Limited last night!

I like the quality of the Cubby bars.

Best bars I have ever had on any of my bikes were Wild One Chubby 575s. I expected to install a set on my new 2016 FLHTK right up to the point where I found out the WO575s don't fit on the Rushmore Ultra's. What a surprise. Rumor has it Wild One is working on a 575 type bar that will fit the '14-16' Ultras. Hopefully they will be available in time to make my winter project schedule. Definitely worth waiting for IMHO.

I've got Klock Werks Ergo back bars and I really like them, although they did take a little getting used to. I had the same issue with my wrists. The shallow angle of the Ergo bars cured that for me and the increase in height pretty much eliminated upper back/neck pain for me.

There's very little wrist angle, so if you like bars with much sweep then they aren't for you.

low wrist angle is exactly what I want, I would keep stockers if not for that. Will have a look at these thanks.

Might I ask how tall you are? I'm looking at these bars too, I would like the standard, but those aren't available for 2014 and up models
