Hello all

I have been searching for days and have found some great information but I would really appreciate some help. I just got my first Harley, a 2006 Softail Standard (whooo!!) I have already put a stage 1 in it as we'll as some decorative mods. I really need help on a set of new bars. I'm 6'2 and cannot stand the feel of the stock bars.

I've read the FXSTC bars will work on my bike. Does anyone know what year of FXSTC?
Does anyone else have any handlebar suggestions that would be better for a taller rider, please keep in mind I do not want to change the stock wiring or cables (I'd be willing to change a front brake line....that's about it)

Thanks in advance!!!!!!

 

Any bars with 1" diameter will fit your bike. The bars you mentioned (baby apes?) will fit, but you'd probably have to add longer lines.

Welcome and congrats on your new bike! Enjoy!

 

As Branner said mini apes will work but I think your cables might be to short, if they are and you've got to change them at 6' 2" I'd go for 14" apes.

 

I'm 6"2" and used 6" drag bars with the Arlen Ness 3" forward control extensions. The bike had the drag bars on when I bought it so I can't tell you whether or not any of the cables or front brake line had to be replaced. That's the combo I would recommend. Put a 95" kit in that bad boy with an Andrews 37 and a street port from BigBoyz and you'll be grinning from ear to ear.
