Hi Raven. Been studying bar options and really love these bars you put on. But looking at Road 6 Customs it says the 11" bars are for 2013 and older bikes.? In fact, this is what it says:
" Holey Roller Handlebars for 2013 and older Road Glides
(also will fit other models)"

I'm trying to order the correct bars. Do you have any more information on exactly which bars these are?

Side covers- I found the side covers on eBay and ordered, I needed to do a cut on the bottom to take away about 6 inches. It definitely changed the lines of the original design but I am very happy with the way they turned out. Trimmed this piece off. It turned out okay. It definitely did change the line but I can change that with pinstriping
