Default Sweeper Bars

I've search here and all around but havn't been able to find pictures of softails with these bars on them....Even better Springers.... I've got a 95 Springer and I want to change the bars....I had thought about a board tracker low riser style but now I'm really leaning to the ape's.....Would love to see some pictures of Sweeper style bars on Springers or any softail for that matter....Thanks

Those bars have a super wide base, and belong on Street Glides and the other touring family of bikes.

They do make them for Touring bikes, however as he stated they do make them for other bikes. I have the wide ones on my heritage and I had a narrow sweeper on my Dyna. I really like them, nice pullback and ergo friendly for me. I have an '08 and did not have to change any cables. Check sig pic. I'll see if I have other pics as well.

They look awesome...Its really just what I'm looking for....what size are they?........I have 11" Santee mini apes on my electra glide...I wish I went a little bigger (14?) but I like them....I definitely want to go bigger on the springer...more for the look then true function...

Eddy,

If I remember correctly they are the 300501 (1" wide sweeper bar). Which would be the same bar as for the Spirnger (300503). I think the knurling for the risers may be different. If that isn't them then they are probably the 300504 which are same width just 2" taller. I had the original heritage bars, didn't care for the look of them and put 10" mini apes on, but they caused a lot of pain in my elbow. Had a previous injury. I would still love to put some taller apes on again that I could pull back towards me a bit, I really dig the ones that kind of curve back towards you. Not sure who makes them. But it'll be hard to convince myself to spend the money in the event they don't work out. Plus I plan to add a reckless fairing this spring and it kind of defeats the point to expose your hands outside the fairing since that is one of the points of a batwing fairing for me.
