Handlebar Information
After a 300 mile ride this weekend I think I need to get a new handlebar.
So when I read dimensions in web sites, like 14" wide 12' up etc etc etc.
It would seem I should have the stock dimensions to make a comparison to.
Now before you say do a search, I found all kinds of dimensions.
But what are the stock dimensions on a Street Glide?
And what does it mean? Like width and center?
Thanks

RE: Handlebar Information
Find the part # for your current bars on the HD site.
Then use this for comparisons:

If I remember correctly HD measures pull back differently than aftermarket, so if you buy another mfg's bars be careful.
Wild1 has excellent customer service if you decide to go aftermarket.

Dont know your bike but I put the heritage bars on my RKC and it was the best $50 I spent, had the dealer hold the bars up to a floor RKC before I bought them. Either way its only $50 so if they did not fit I would bring them back or ebay them.

I just put the wide-glide mini-apes on my FLHR MChief but that much height might look strange behind your fairing instead of my windshield. Sure do like the grip position though - solved my comfort problems fine. For size comparison, I'm 6'1" and a sit on a Mustang solo.

Rod, keep in mind that bars aren't out yet for the '08s yet. If you get new bars, you're going to have to modify them to make them work with the new throttle.
