Bagger bars on a Heritage
I can't seem to find any replacement bars with the additional 4" of pullback compared to the stock Heritage Classic buckhorn bars - aside from beach/bikini bars and those are not an option for me. Accutronix has the pullback risers with the most pullback but at under 3", it's still not enough. I have been considering some 10" apes then rolling them back versus strait up then I came across some bagger bars online from the likes of Klock Werks (other brands as well) that seem like they would work. The nice thing is they have some decent pullback immediately then rise then pullback some more after the final bend. They should clear the speedo with no issue at full lock. I have not come across any pics of softails with this style of bar installed and am hoping someone on here has such a setup.
I need to get my elbows much closer to my sides to alleviate a pinched nerve in the right side of my neck that makes the right hand tingle when the arm is extended for any real length of time.

They weren't cheap, but I installed Helibar's on my 23 Heritage. It did require new wire extensions, and a new clutch cable and brake line.

The brake master cylinder has some clearance problems with the line fitting. It doesn't prevent use, but it does limit the adjustability.
After god knows how many hours of fiddling, I've got my hands back, and close together, and angled downwards to the outside. So, almost perfectly neutral, for me.

I put a Kraus pullback plate on my bike. The T-Rex plate gives you 2.50 “ of pullback and 1” additional height. I also added a KST 12 inch bar that I pulled back a bit. It gave me approx 2 more inches of pullback (I don’t remember the exact amount). It did require longer cables and wires. I recently sold the bike, or I would have included pictures. Soca

I didn't measure the pullback, but it's a lot more than either the stock bars or the "reach" handlebar Harley sells.
