Default New bars and risers on 2010 wide glide
Hey guys, the other day I put new bars and risers on my fathers 2010 wide glide. He was complaining that the stock bars were too wide and a little out of reach for him. We went and installed a Flanders 35 degree drag bar and Harley 6" chrome pull back risers. The whole process was really really easy and pretty straight forward . Hardest part is getting the wires out of the factory connectors. Here are a few pics of the new bars.

And the forward control are not so far for him ? You know you can find "back plates" for a better drive position ?
Very nice bike, congrats !!!

I wonder if they make those risers in black that will fit the Fat Bob. That might make my bike fit me even better.

Hye Jonathan, you have 2 solutions :

First : Build your own personnal back plates exacly for your leg lenght..
(The cheaper but need some machining work knowledge..)

Second : The Accutronix "back plates" sold in chrome or black powder coated fit's 1'' 3/8 back from the stock location..Perfect for us..!
(Take care to the exhaust clearance..!)
