You don't have the part number for the Lowrider bars do you?

Sure Jimmie, if you'll look in my profile pictures, you'll see the set up from various angles. I'm sitting on the bike in one of the pictures so you can see what my riding position looks like. I'm 6' with regular arm length (34" shirt sleeve). Hope this helps.

You bet Chickenhauler, look for part #56021-04B. It'll say XL bars, but they're the same.

Royce, did you have to "fish" wires? My wires seem to be on the outside on my 08 FXDC????? Or am I missing something?

No, you're spot on. My cables are all on the outside. I did use several black zip ties to snug them up against the bars to give a neater look.

You'll find that the Low Rider bars and the Wide Glide bars are pretty similar in bend, major difference being the LR is 1" and the WG is 1.25" meaning you will need new risers.

On mine, I put the LR bars on first but switch the the WG ones when I put Fat Bob trees on - I used stock Fat Boy Lo risers and they worked great. Keep the wires outside on the LR or put them inside with the WG.

I have 4.5" risers on it now, we'll try them with the Sportster bars. If I have to, I'll switch to 6" risers----anything to change the wrist angle.
