Reach handlebars on 2018 FXLR
Has anyone put “reach” handlebars on a 2018 FXLR? I installed Fwd controls, love them, just need grips back a little. accessory book says 55800715 Reach will give me an inch. I got my new 55800715 bar today. Haven’t tried swapping them yet but they don’t measure a gain. Looks more like a loss to me. Just wondering if anyone has installed the Reach bar on a Lowrider yet.

No I haven't tried the reach bars for my 2018 Lowrider. But I am interested as I was also looking to reduce the reach to the handlebars also. So you are saying they don't look like they will be of any use in reducing the reach?

Before spending the $$$$ to put a Reach bar on you might want to look at what I just did on my Cherry. See my thread Adjustable handlebar risers for an '18 Heritage
I did not seem worth the expense and work to swap out the bars to gain only 1 inch. The slight rise of the bars is undetectable.

Not sure, I know how to measure the pull back, but it’s hard to do the measuring accurately when still mounted. Don’t want to pull switch hsgs, shift lever, brake Assy, and wiring only to find I didn’t gain anything. Was hoping someone had done the swap. Won’t get a chance to work on it for awhile. Got to work all week because of holiday rush. Work on a lake, Holliday’s in Summer really push us. We have a large number of Floating docks under contract. People will actually Explode and Die If their Dock isn’t perfect. Usually rains anyway.

I bought these 3.5 inch curved risers on Amazon and they work pretty good. I had to go to Fastenal to pickup some 1" handlebar bolts because the stock ones were a little too long.

Got a little time about 2:00 am this morning. Just laid the original bars back, put new bar on just temporarily. Does look like they will be slightly. Since I have them here, I’ll swap them out when I get time. Thanks for the replies. I’ll post when I’m done.
