I've got the khromwerks narrow street sweepers 2+2 on my 14 Limited and the Wild 1 579 Chubby's on my 22 Limited. They are both great and might be what you're looking for. The Wild 1 are nicer looking bars, the Khromewerks are only 1" bars and have a curve on the uprights but feel great.

I'm 5'9 and tried a few bars. These are the best as the hand angle is great and the pullback is very comfortable. I can control the bike much easier with these bars. I have them set where I can still push them forward an inch if I wanted to but where they are is perfect....

One word of warning with the KhromeWerks bars - The stock diameter ones WILL bend with the extra leverage and height if you have to pick your bike up. Lost mine on a gravel driveway and had to beat them somewhat back before I could ride home.

Weird. I guess I’m stubby at 5’ 9” but I went with ten inch Fatbagger bars and have them pushed as far forward as possible and I don’t have to lean forward to reach them.

Im 5-10 and currently have Khromewerks 2+2 narrow sweeper, nice but not tall enough for me.

I am considering these - https://fatbaggers.com/motorcycle-pa...street-glide-e

I called and spoke to their customer service guy, he measured a pair on the bench while we were on the phone, they are 12" pull back from center of clamp to tip of bar. They are 34" wide compared to other that are 36"

They also have billet peaks for ease of wiring installation. Check out the video on the webpage.

Good luck and let us know what you end up using.

Might be worth yo checking out.

I got 12" fat baggers too, have them lined up flush with the fork tubes, fits me great and I'm 5' 10" on a good day

Fat Bagger bars are great. I got the 10 inch flat tops in 1.25".
I got away from the reduced reach, I bought the KW Ergos before the FBIs, and I just can't stand the funky look of them.
