Default Handle bar changes

Just purchased an 07 heritage softail classic. Finding the bars a little too high. Adjusted them back and they just seem to high for me. This seem odd because I don't remember them being that high on an 03 I rented in Orlando. Kinda like the delux bars. Wondering if anyone else agrees and what was done to change them.
Thanks in advance
Russbucket.

Default RE: Handle bar changes

I just put Heritage bars on my RK and I love 'em. Kinda like them high. AFIK Heritage bars have'nt changed shape from one year to the next. The deluxe bars are o.k. but would'nt be my preference. You'll have to put the risers on to use them. I would just check your bars dimensions against some other bars and go with a couple inches lower of a rise. Good luck.

Thanks for the info. I don't like the risers either. Maybe I just need to get used to them.
Ride on.
