Default FLHXS Handlebar replacement

Looking for an alternative to my 2014 FLHXS stock handlebars to reduce the reach w/o having to change all the cables etc. and try to keep cost reasonable.

My aren't reduced reach but I did not have to change anything. I put on 10" Khrome Werks bagger bobber apes. My hands are now right at the top of my fairing. My stock mirrors were worthless after the bar exchange so I had to change those. Good luck.

Ended up with 12.5" Wild1's. Very happy with them.

you're probably looking at 10's and maybe 12's depending on the bike and the bar.

i've read good advice on here to focus on getting the proper size bar to fit you and then make the investment in whatever cables/extensions you need.
