I'm a little worried that when my Ultra comes in I will be too cramped. Sitting on one on the showroom floor I felt like the bars were too close and was looking for a way to push them farther away, which is apparently impossible. I guess I'm used to stretching out, and reaching out, on the Fatboy. We shall see I guess!!
The part number I looked up was 55914-98, shows to fit '97-later Electra Glides. Prices are Surdyke - $40.59 and Zanotti's - $44.25. Oddly enough, Zanotti's is usually cheaper than Surdyke but not on these bars.
Well I went through the trouble of putting these bars on my SG. They come back two inches yeah, but they are so NARROW it makes my wrists hurt.
It's like holding on to a wheel barrow or something. I rode only five times with them and bought a set of Wild1s I will be installing as soon as I get off travel.
Guys.. these bars are very very narrow.... make sure you sit on a bike that has them first...
When I get back to SC, someone can have mine if they pay for shipping... A waste of 40 bucks.

Yeah I have em to,pay shipping there yours,also 1965 if you are getting a new ultra hd sells a tallboy bar that just might be your ticket two inches higher and two away,I put cyclesmiths 13.5" apes on my egc love em but they put my hands above fairing,tallboys are new didnt have em when I changed bars.
My Chubby 575's rock!!! They are wider, higher and pullback a little more than the stockers. They felt pretty weird at first, but now that I'm used to them I don't think I could go back.
Made the change last year. Like the others, changed out the cables. I have so much on mine, I had the dealer do it, in case there were any wiring issues. I also lowered mine from the "normal" position they set these at. The stock setting feels like a Heritage Softail. Mine are down like a RK Custom. I LIKE IT THAT WAY!!!
