Hi all - I am thinking about handlebar options for my 08 Heritage. I would love to hear what others have put on this bike, and maybe see pics of the results.

Bluesman42, try to google harley handlebars. You will get many hits on some awesome sites. IE. flanders, carlini, wild 1s, thehandlebarcompany. Lots to choose. GOOD LUCK its a tuff decision, once you buy your stuck with them.

Me too. I'm confused about what the stock pullback is on those bars. HD states in the catalog it's 5" and wild1 and others say it's 13". Guess they must measure pb differently

I have looked at a lot of the options on different suppliers' sites, but would really help to see some pics of similar bikes with the different styles on

I replaced mine with Road King bars. All the cables fit just fine and the swap only took 30 minutes.

I just put Wild1's 12.5's on mine I like the look and feel of them. Their web site has some good pics of different bars on bikes.
