Default Handlebar Recommendation
Right now I have 12” LA Choppers Twin Peaks on my Street Glide. I like them but with 5 1/4” pullback they put me at full extension of the arms if I’m not leaning forward. I would like to get an inch or two more of pullback so I can be a little more comfortable. I’m aware of the Yaffe Monkey Bars, what else is out there?

I have Khrome Werks 2+2 Narrow Sweepers on my '14 Limited and love them.

Little bit too much pullback on those, looking for something in the 6-7” range

Have you tried rotating your bars farther back? You have plenty of room to move them back. You would lose some height, but gain the pullback you're looking for.

I literally just purchased Factory 47 14" Signature Bars. Saw them on a bike today at the Dealership and I couldn't resist. They claim you can use stock cables which def helped the sale.

Yeah, but I don't want to lose the look of them being straight up and down if that makes sense. I don't want a bar that's angled back.

I've read those are extremely wide. For some reason I can't get their site to pull up.

make sure you're going to the correct address

https://factory47.com/

I'm finishing up a set tomorrow of 14" Malo's tomorrow. I'm a short kinda guy and had no problem with their 12" on the previous Road King.

I think you need the kliphangers then. You can get a ton of pullback in the grip section only.
