Handlebar help please
Hello, I'm looking at 3 bars for my 2013 flhtk. Wild one 575, wild one 578 and Khrome Werks 2+2 sweepers. I was wondering if the sweepers can be rotated up or down at all or if they're limited to one position. Kinda worried that the 575 wouldn't be enough difference to notice but if I go with them I could always get my stock seat reworked by MCC. Leaning towards the 578's right now but I'm not really into the ape look with the batwing fairing. I'm 5"11 and ride straight up but would like to lean back more on long hauls. Thanks for any advice before I drop the cash.

Welcome to the forum!
I recently installed the 2+2 on my '12 SG. You have a decent amount of travel up or down. It all depends on comfort and obviously cable length/ being able to clear tank, etc.
But short answer is they move. And are incredibly comfortable. I wish I put them on sooner.

Have you tried to adjust your stock bars? If you rotate them in the clamps towards you they will get closer, although also a bit lower. Worth a try and doesn't cost anything!

I have the Heritage Classic bars on my RG. They are better than stock but not much. I rotated them back/down as much as they could go, which was not much. It didn't seem to make much difference. I get a lot of tightness and pain across my shoulders on long rides. I am thinking about trying the 12" mini apes from HD to see if they help any.
