I have a 2008 Sportster XL 1200C and want to replace my stock bars to get them a little closer to me and a tad higher, maybe an extra 2"-3" on both the rise and pull back would do it. Not really looking for ape-hangers and don't want to get into replacing control cables & stuff.
Problem is, i don't know what the specs are on my stock bars so i don't know what to look for. My bike has the stock pull back riser on it, i have loosened the clamp and adjusted the bars but they are still not where i want them to be. they came back a little but also dropped down in the process.
Anyone made a similar change? and what bars did you use?
I replaced the 1200C bars with the 1200L bars, and this is exactly what you are looking for.
Any idea what the HD part number is?
I will do some research if you don't know.
Does anyone have a 1200L parts manual to help me with this info?
Thanks
