I need new bars
Have a 2013 Dyna SuperGlide, love the bike, not so much the bars. On a relatively short ride, 20 miles, my right hand gets tingly.
I'm thinking this is because I'm stretching a little to far and the bars are are angled a little too far down for my liking.
What would be a good bar to look at that would come back about 2 more inches from stock and not angled quite so bad. I'd also like a bar I can hide some wiring in.
I know this is all personal preference, just need a little direction.
My specs are
5'9" with about a 27" reach ( nose to fingertips ). Prefer a relaxed riding
feel.

If I'm measuring right, I think I'm looking at about a 6" rise with a 12" pull back. Will I need to buy new lines. I'm looking but can't quite find bars with these dimensions, also need them to be 1 1/4

Will look in to those...so many choices....
Here are the ones I'm looking at. I think they will work for me, just not sure if I will have to change cables.

You can install some 4 1/2" curved risers similar to the softail std, or street bob mini ape bars, with out having to replace the cables. Have had both on my fxdc . Some rerouting of the clutch cable is needed for the int wired street bob bars. Sit on a stock street bob and see how it feels. The new fxdc has mini harness plugs so no drama in running wires thru the bars.

I ride a Fat Bob and love the bars. I also like the bars on the Wide Glide. I tried a Super Glide and the stock bars did not work for me either.
