Default Batwing tallboy handlebars 55800591

Looking for these bars, 55800591. Hd.com is on a 8 week back order. Found a couple of dealers that have low stock according to HD.com. one is 2 hrs away and the other is 2 1/2 hrs away. Willing to make the drive but absolutely cannot get through to the parts dept of either dealer, no wonder they have stock they don't answer the phone. Do you know of an aftermarket option, pretty much needs to be the same specs?

I put these same bars on my 2013 Ultra Classic earlier this year. They are very comfortable and a vast improvement for me over stock bars. I'm about 5'10" w/32" inseam for reference. Bonus is they fit on the earlier batwings like mine or the later years without any other mods. All the stock cables and wiring would reach if you ran the wiring outside which is far easier on the pre-2014 non-canbus bikes as they have more wires for handlebar controls and these are only 1" dia bars. If you have an earlier bike like mine you will need to relocate the clutch cable as it's ran under the fairing from over top of the radio support bracket to below it instead. It will then exit the fairing grommet at the correct angle for the raised bars and also gain an extra couple inches in length for you. These bars can be wired either internally or externally and are also available in black part #55800592. These are an easy do-it-yourself install at home so save a few bucks and tackle this yourself if handy. I'm sure you will be happy with the new hand position and comfort.
