Default Heritage bars Question

Hey guys,

Looking to see if anyone knows what the rise and pullback is on the current stock heritage bars and if it differs from the cable operated bars to the TBW bars.

Considering these for my wife's ride. They are cheap enough through ronnie's, around $80. but when I look at the fische, the non TBW years look like they have a lower rise.

She likes whats on the 15/16's. Is there a rise height difference? if so, do they sit in the same place? Are there aftermarket alternatives that come in Black?

Seriously? If they are cable operated on the new ones than I am golden. I just assumed all the new bikes were TBW.

Thanks!!!

Are you talking about the "heritage style" bars? What kind of bike does she ride? I have the heritage style on my RKC. My understanding it that the only difference is the notch for the TBW. The notch shouldn't affect standard cable operated throttle.
