I am 5' 6" and are thinking about putting on some new handlebars, however I am worried about reach issues. My arms are on the shorter side but the stock handlebars are not comfortable on long rides. Seems like all bars have their own way they measure pullback so its hard to decide which ones to get. Just looking for ideas on which ones to look at buying. Any pics would be great also. My plan is to buy the bars, new wires, and new riser bushings. Thanks

 

The popular consensus around here is the Khrome Works 2+2 Narrow Sweepers is ideal for people of our short stature.

I have a 2015 Ultra Classic LOW. Because the wrist angle is awkward I'm thinking of changing to the 2+2's from the factory HD Reach bars. I'm just not sure how they compare to each other.

 

What bike you got Mang???

I have a road king and bought Khrome werks 10in bobber apes. The width and height is the same as the stock Heritage bars but with less pullback. So I shouldn't have a need to put in new wiring. Haven't installed them yet. Keep in mind the more pullback the more the ends of the bars will face you.

 

I have a 2016 Street Glide Special. I guess that info would help.

 

I changed from the Harley Reach to the 2+2 narrow sweepers for a more comfortable bent elbow, better wrist angle bar.

 

Another vote for the KW 2+2 Narrow Sweepers. Just put them on my '14 Limited a month ago. This is the umpteenth best mod I have ever made.

 

I am right with ya,,, but at 68 years old... LOL>.. Started on Harley's in 96 Fatboy, WG then full bagger in 04 - still on the Bagger... I got this new one in Aug 15. This time I Bit the bullett and got the Helibars. They are NOT cheap but for us short arm riders, they Work Great... Plus I live close enough to Corbin in Hollister, CA. I make an appointment and ride over there at 0800 = meet with the builder, have a seat made to MY butt, short legs and arms... i ride with full length front and rear shocks.. I also wear heavy boots so I am flat footed at a stop and everything fits like a glove

Khrome Werks 2+2 Narrow Sweepers is the way to go, love mine, my elbows stay bent, no more wrist pain and my hands don't get numb!

 

I just put the bat wing reach from Harley on my ultra part #55800589 and they brought the bars back awesome now i can reach with comfort.

 

These actually sound pretty good = only issue with bars is the expense and it will ONLY be proven once they are actually on the bike - which is not easy
