Default Another Handlebar Suggestion Thread

Anybody have any recomendations for bars that will move my hands 2" higher and a good 2" - 3" closer on a '08 FLHTP? Thanks

Here's a little something that might help . . . at least give you an idea of some of the availabilityof H-bars out there. I know that the Cyclesmith 13" bars are pretty popular and look very cool on Baggers!!

I switched mine to the Flanders Bars and they did just what you are looking for. They can accomidate the TBW, but the right side has to be shortened andnotched. I found that they are more comfortabel for my hands, but now I need a backrest because I am sitting back further. It was a good switch for me at 5'10" using the Sundowner seat.
I hope this helps.
