Default Stock Bars

realize all the threads out there about bars and i am looking.. but... can anyone tell me what the specs of the stock bars are on a 12 limited ? I think that would help me in making a decision on what to go with as i cannot tolerate the strain on my shoulders , neck, and back any longer with this reach... they measure about 31 across but the rise and pullback i cannot quite figure... thanks alot

First find what bars you REALLY want. Then get cables/wire extensions to match. Sure, it will cost you more money, maybe a couple hundred more depending on cables selected, I like Magnum Shielding but ask yourself how happy and comfortable you want to be.

I have beach bars on my RKC, love them. Installed 10" apes on a customers bike, 2013 EC Ultra Limited, and I actually liked them a lot. Feel is going to come by trial and error. You might also be too tense when you ride, try and relax some, if the pain is still there, try some different bars.

Ride safe!!
