Default Heritage bars

Of the Heritage Classic owners here, who has kept the stock bars?

At the moment I still have the stock. I would be intersted to know what other bars that people put on their Heritage and what they think are the most comfortable.

Heritage bars on a Fatboy are very comfortable.

Thumbs up Carlinis

I agree that the Heritage bars are comfortable stock. One of the few Harley Models that are.. Went with Carlinis on the 04 Heritage Mostly for looks but found the wider stance and pullback to be more comfortable for me anyway..

I never liked the stock heritage bars. The angle of them would make my wrist ache after an hour of riding. I switched out to wild ones 12.5 and find them totally comfortable.

At 5' 8" I just pulled mine back a little and they fit perfect, may look at a shortened windshield in the future for the final fix but that's it.

Put the Heritage bars on my '06 Fatboy, more comfortable than the stock bars. Pulled them back just a bit to get a good control angle and sat up straighter in the saddle (less clamshell).

I'm with Lionsqrne. Stock Heritage bars made my hands/wrists contort inward "pigeon toed" and made my hands go numb and tingly. I swapped them out with Wild1 Chubby 515's and for me they are a perfect fit.
