Default Handlebars options for my heritage.

Hate my stock bars on my 2002 heritage. Love the hand and wrist position of the buckhorns but hate that style. Any suggestions on different bars that have hand an wrist positions of buckhorns without the long swoop of buchorns.

Hello Ormonder, I changed my stock handlebars, on my 2014 FLSTC, for 56832-04C Fat Mini Ape bars +extension cables. These I find very comfortable on long rides and finished of the Chrome look with accel & idle & brake lines. You could say that I am turning into 'A Chromasexual'. Also fitted a new Road Zeppelin Seat, Great comfort.

04 heritage here. never have liked my bars.. ive looked for heritage w/ beach bars or fat boy bars, something like this, for awhile just for me to sit on.. never have found something to demo..
went to the dealer.. salesman insisted that the road king set up was very similar.
couldnt confirm that, but it did feel better.

Hi amkaos, one of the main reasons for changing was the laft and right switch cables showing now a cleaner better look. I must admit I did not think of road king, although I changed mine, (old RKC), for reach bars. While I am on the subject of looks, what are yours and anyone elses thoughts of front engine bars. I did drop my old rkc a couple of times and the front and rear protection bars saved a few dents and scratches, (only the bars took the brunt).
