Handle bars

Are you looking for suggestions on:

“what are good quality brands”
”how tall can I go with stock cables and lines”
”what styles are most popular”
”should I change bushings/go with polyurethane”

Or maybe something else?

You’ll find you get more helpful/accurate responses if you ask a specific question.

Also, this forum is specific to 2018+ Softails. While it doesn’t really matter for random handlebar questions, anything else (technical, etc.) would be better in the Softail model area.

And welcome to the forum.

Judging from the vast number of responses you got, maybe it was...

Good luck getting help - with that attitude.

I'm 6' on a Lowrider and changed to the Street Bob handlebars, I love them. No wire mods were needed.

I just bought a Slim, I'm putting Heritage Bars on it....But I'm just 5'11"

I went with the Fat Chizeled bars on my Heritage. Supposedly the same height as stock (12") but they sure look and feel taller. I wanted something more narrow than stock. I had to get wire extensions and new clutch cable and brake line as well. I'm 6'2" and these work good for me.
