I'm only 5 11....
You should consider ditching the the stock bars as you'd be MUCH more comfortable with...almost any other bars...but...
if you keep 'em I would put 6" Pullback Risers on it.
You might need a new clamp...not sure.

If you like the OVERALL look and feel of the BHorns maybe you'd like the LOW RIDER stock bars...those are pretty nice.

 

I'm too cheap to buy new handlebars, move all of the hardware over, etc. Risers should be cheap and easy, right? Probably don't even need new cables for a 6" riser.

 

Correct!

 

if you raise those stock bars they will come closer to you(less room). If you need more room, 6-8" straight risers and drag bars in whatever width you choose. If you end up changing the risers, 5 extra minutes and the bars can be swapped out too. A drag bar is only around 50 bucks.

 

I've called my local shop and asked around, and it seems like the difference in cost between using stock bars and risers and getting new bars isn't much.

I like the look of the wide glide bars. Do you think the wide glide stock handlebar (I think the mini apes) would be easy to install on a superglide (will I need to get new cables)? If not, anyone out there that's 6'3" fell comfortable with those bars? Is it worth some risers in addition to the wide glide stock bars?

 

personal comfort is subjective. Mini apes will require cable change. The 09 streetbob bars are internally wired 1" mini apes(get these if you choose the apes). Same size(height, width , pullback) as wide glide bars.

 

If I got with your original suggestion of drag bar and risers, will I need a cable change on my 07 superglide custom?

 

nope!

 

nope you will have plenty of cable. You also will have more room. The bars will be a little higher and further away. You will have more room and the bike will feel bigger. You can get an idea of this feeling by going to your nearest Harley dealer(if convenient) and sitting on the fatbob and the nighttrain. The location of your bars will have an incredible impact on comfort and how secure you feel while riding the bike.With my bar and riser combo, it took me a few rides to get the angle of the bar just right in the riser for that perfect fit.

 

Thanks, creekhed1, rounder and others. You all have been very helpful.

I'm going to try and get to a dealership to sit on the fatbob and nighttrain, but I'm hearing you guys loud and clear. 9" risers with 32" drag bar will not require new cables. When you say cables, do you also include wires?

I called up my local shop, and they said that handlebar changes vary as far as time required to change them. He did say that it could take 6 -7 hours, at most, but he is more than willing for me to ride my bike there and he'll give a more accurate decision based on seeing the bike.

Does 6-7 hours sound reasonable as far as labor time?
