Looking to change the bars on my 2020 RGS. New to Harley and looking for advice.
I'm right at 6 ft tall and trying to decide which would be more comfortable. 14 inch renegades or 12 inch renegades. I like that with the 12's your hands are still behind the fairing, but is that still to low to be comfortable?
Do a search....there have been a couple of posts on handlebars lately. I would recommend you look into the parts and accessories catalog and find the bars on your bike. Get the dimensions off for rise, pull back, width, etc. Then decide what you would like for the new bars. Higher? Pulled back a bit more? Forward a bit? With the dimensions of your current bars, you at least have something to help make a decision of what you want. Keep in mind if you get something with more rise and pull back, this may require a change in cables/wiring etc.
IN my experience you always want to go with the taller set if you are between two heights. That being said i would recommend Wild 1 Chubby Handlebars. Cant beat the price for the quality and they are 100% american made.
