Default Softtail Deluxe Handlebar replacement

Hi Guys,

I bought a used 2007 FLSTN for the wife. The handlebars that came on it are the reduced reach and the curved risers as well.

I was looking on the HD Parts website, and there are some $250 bars, or some $80 bars.

I'm hoping to not need new control cables and a clutch cable.

But the current ones are either too close, or they are forward and both her and my wrists are bent.

On my FLHX I swapped the bars for a Klock Workz Ergo Up bar.

Just looking for some suggestions, I'm considering the Road King bars on the HD website. P/N :
56557-95

thanks for the help

Harry

Let her pick, you can't go wrong that way! If not then I would go the least expensive way to start out because chances are down the road she will want something else for one reason or another and these will just be collecting dust. I might also suggest looking at CL to see whats on there. I have gotten some really good stuff off of there for pennies on the dollar. Good luck and maybe some pics? Before and after?

May want to check out Wild1's. I got the 504 bars on my Deluxe. Very comfortable. Wild 1's website gives lots of good info on sizing and recommendations:

I have some Heritage bars setting in my garage that might be a good fit for her. They are HD #56623-99. If you want to give them a try I'll send them your way for just the cost of shipping. Shoot me a PM if you're interested.
