Ugly bars
Was looking at the stock super glides handlebars today at the dealer and they have got to be the ugliest bars I've ever seen. What was Harley thinking? They kinda remind me of tricycle handlebars. No wonder mostly everybody changes out the bars! IMO they ruin the bike.

I spent a few hours at the bike show this past weekend. I sat on too many bikes to count, when I sat on the SuperGlide it felt just the way mine did the first time I sat on it. It felt right for me. The bars are part of what makes it feel that way.
This needed a thread started,to point out your opinion. How many threads have you started this week. How old are you. Did you just get the Internet,what kind of oil you use.

Stock Super Glides bars are called Buckhorn, they have been around a long time. With risers and adjustment they are very comfortable on long hauls. (for feeble minded people like green mean that would transalate into 400 - 500 miles a day. Not 30 miles to the first bar and back home with your designer bars)

The trolololo guy, my son told me was a russian tv personality on one of their shows. Youtube has one vid that is 10 hours of that, over, and over, and over.
Back to the bars. RICKL is correct, they are buck horns and the reason I bought the custom was the way the bike felt with them. They work best for me parallel to the tank.
Had a set on a Heritage, too. I enjoyed the way they felt on it, too...different strokes, I guess...dd50
