I just wanted to get some ideas and opinions. I'm looking to change out my handlebars on my 2009 Ultra Classic.
The bars on it now are: 31" end to end, 7 1/2" rise, 12 1/2" pull back. I'd like some thoughts on the measurements for bars would be if I need them to be about 3" closer to me but keeping the same height. I know the other measurements would change a little and not be as simple as just adding 3" to the pull back.
Please send your feedback.
I have LA chopper twin peaks 12 inch. If you went with 10 and pulled them back would
probably be close to what you want. Check out there measurements. I found them to be as close to factory as you can get. Most bars I looked at were a lot wider. Very happy with mine.
For reference to PeeWees post..here is a set of 10" LA Choppers I installed for a guy and they are rocked back for easier reach. He's a short fella at 5'7.
Your best bet is to ride to the dealer and see if they have any used bikes with bars already on them that you could use to sit on and test out. No other real way to know what bar is right for you.
