Just a little more pullback
Im thinking that Id like an inch or 1.5 inches more pullback with my stock Heritage Bars.
Whats the smartest way to accomplish this? I like the stock bars. Perfect for my shorter arms. But on the highway Id like them a touch closer...
Someone suggested that I tilt them downwards, but will that actually bring them closer to me?
Thanks all!

I'm in the same boat, I'm short and ride a heritage. Yeah, tilting them back withh bring them a little closer. HD also offers pullback risers now that give you more pull back. (look on HDs site under accessorys for your model for more detail)
I'm also thinking about putting the Wild1 wo508 Road Kind bar on mine but I havent made my mind up yet. Those are the options I have found.
Here's the chubby bars, they are recommended for people 5'10" and shorter

Pulling them toward you will get you 1.5" w/o much problem. That's probably about where I have mine. But I don't care for the look. Been researching new bars but first I have to get some for the wife. Not much she can do in increase the pb on hers.
I've been meaning to call Wild1 and get some clarification on exactly what the pb is on stock Heritage bars. MoCo lists it at only 5". Wild1 and others list it as 13" !!!. I don't see how they're getting 13" unless they're measuring them in a pull backed position.
So far the 504s or 508s seem like viable candidates. I'm really wanting to try them out for size before I buy them for either of our bikes. Don't mind spending the money but I want to make sure it's the right choice.
