Default ROADGLIDE HANDLEBARS
Well.. I´m looking to change the handlebars of my bike. Looking at the Dominator Industries Meathook 10". Not sure still if to go with the 10s or 12". Really like the bike´s handling with the OEM bars. Dont want to go much higher than that. Can anyone confirm the height of the OEM bars? I´ve measure them and it looks like they are 10.5 or something close. Any thoughts?

I hear you can easily rotate the bars on the RG. Wonder if this would be enough?

I rotated mine back some but didn’t like it in tighter slower turns so moved them back to full forward for best leverage… I wish the OEMs weren’t quite as tall as they are and have considered changing them

The OEM Bars are 9". I swapped mine out with 12" KST Spearheads. I like the additional height and width. I was also able to use the OEM cables. Good Luck!
