Oh crap, that would help, I'm riding a 13 ultra limited.

What about just rotating what you've got back a little? That's free.

This may be the ticket, for some reason I thought they might have a set groove in them. Guess I have another project for tonight.

Thanks for the input guys.

I felt my bars on my 14 SGS were too low and I was hunched over. I'm 5'7". I tried a Khromewerks Sweeper model (can't remember which one) but they still felt too wide and put my wrists at an awkward position. I called the nice folks there and they were in the process of making new Narrow Sweepers. They weren't in production yet but had several on hand and sold them to me. They turned out to be perfect. I did 2300 miles in 6 days last September and never had any aches or pains from the bars at all.

These are the ones I have - 300519 is the model number and they are 2 up and 2 back.

These are the other narrow - 300518 and they are just 2 back. I decided on the 2 up because of feeling hunched over....

Hope this helps! I love these bars. No cable changes as long as you route them right in the fairing. You'll want to adjust the clutch and brake hose direction at the controls. Just barely loosen the banjo bolt on them so no leaks and no air in the lines happens and tighten them back up. There are lots of instruction threads on here.

Thanks a ton, if I can't adjust my bars enough like was suggested I will give these a go. I don't want any higher just need to be a little farther back I think.

I would say if your going to go with new bars i would go with the wo578s. They are only a couple inches taller and canbe rotated back quite a ways. I kept mine closer to the fairing but it still keeps your hands protected and out of the wind.
