It's this time of the year...now that my seat is all set and good, it is time to blow my money on bars. I like factory bars, nothing wrong with them. They are good height, although, I would prefer them to be little lower. I do wish they were little bit more narrow, maybe 33-34 instead of 36 inches. At any rate, I have them pulled towards me and they are good. But....what if it could be.... better?!

I can easily find regular bars that I know will work, but then, I ventured into T-bar setups. I have to say, I was never a huge fan of them, but I wouldn't mind to have it on my bike if it's better than stock setup. When I say "better" I mean, posture and input response. I do most of my riding split between highway and country roads. I prefer to be more in a "relaxed" position than "aggressive". I know T-bars are little more aggressive, but what if there was a setup that would allow me to get the whole thing setup to be both? I think I found it with Kraus Open Road.

Here is a link: https://www.krausmotorco.com/open-ro...24-road-glide/ I know there are Thrashing bars too which are very popular but I am not interested in their setups. The main reason why I am considering this one is because of it's adjustability.

But I have some concerns, mostly about the pullback amount. I like my bars closer to me and factory bars are setup in a nice distance. I would prefer then to be little lower, which I think these Kraus bars would accomplish if I went with 10.5 setup.

With that said, is anyone using these? What is your feedback?

Thanks!

 

HeliBars have more adjustability.

 

I have HeliBars on my 2019 FLHTP. I purchased them because of the adjustability. The folks that I know went through 2-4 sets of bars to find what they liked. I spent the money on the HeliBars and spent one day riding and adjusting. I do not regret buying them at all!

External wiring with the Helibars? Can find any pictures of them installed with internal wiring. Even the TBW unit compatibility show it going externally after the short piece that the grips mount on.

 

Thanks for the suggestion gents, but I am not interested in Helibars. I am asking specifically about Kraus setup in my link.
