Default Handle Bars Road Glide

Ok, I did a search and didn't find anyting for "road glide handle bars" for results.

I have a stock 07 RG and after about an hour of riding my shoulders hurt since my arm reach is a little short. I am looking to find bars that will bring the grips back to me about an inch or so. Looking for suggestions on types of bars to use. If you havepictures of your RG with the bars installed that would be a bonus!

Thanks much.

Pre-2006 (2005 or earlier) WideGlide bars. All cables & wiring work. I've used them on both of my last two RG's.

Are the bars in your photo album the Wide Glide? They look stock. Just wondering. At any rate. Thanks!

All RG's, at least from 2002 thru 2007 have the same bars & they all suck.

My reference to pre-06 WG bars was because the 06's WidGlides started coming with larger diameter bars than previous years.
