Default 2017 Road Glide Handlebars

I sat on a new Road Glide yesterday and I'm totally in love with the new handlebars. Can anybody tell me what these new handlebars are called and will they fit my 2011 Road Glide?

You will have to change your clamp to an 1 1/4 clamp and the wiring if I remember right routes out different at the bottom

I tried putting 2016 Road Glide bars on my 2014 Road King. You have to buy the 1 1/4" riser kit from Harley. The main thing is the newer Road Glides have longer clamps for clutch and brake lever assemblies and there's a hole on each side that is not covered by our assemblies. If you look at the pictures of a new Road Glide and then a different touring bike you'll see what I mean. Also the 1" part for grips and lever clamps are longer for some reason. So the clamp on each side doesn't butt up against 1 1/4 part so you have a portion of the 1" area exposed which isn't very appealing to me. I finally gave up trying to make them work and put the other bars back on. If you want I can send pictures showing the holes. I also have the 1 1/4" riser kit if anyone might me interested.

Looking at these two sets. Appear to be similar to the Road Glide bars. Not sure which height I want.
