I bit the bullet
and went with "heli" bars
They are 100% adjustable.
They are expenseve,,,but by far the best bars ever.
The good thing is that I will keep them if I seel the bike to put on the new one.

I have a set of 515's from Chubby Wild 1 that I will be selling if you are interested.&nbsp\\; I had them on my RG for a very short time.&nbsp\\; Great bars&nbsp\\; that offer a much better grip position without going too radical. &nbsp\\;I ended up going back to the Street Glide fairing and they won't work with the batwing.&nbsp\\; They are 10" apes in like new condition used for only about 700 miles.&nbsp\\; $100 plus s/h.&nbsp\\; Let me know....

I knew it would be fixed sooner or later, just had to be patient!!&nbsp\\; Great job guys, still one of the best sites around!&nbsp\\;
Thanks bigjess, going to install the hawg-wired double shot tuesday night (waiting for the brown truck) and the adjustable backrest and that should be all for this year.&nbsp\\; Where have I heard that before, it never really ends.

I put Wide Glide bars on my 07 Roady. I am now looking to change them. They are better than stock although the wrist angle is not what I want. Also, If I puli them back, they end up too low for me. I'm looking at wild-one bars but can't make up my mind.

Anyone have wild-ones on their Road Glide? Which ones? Got pics????

I know . . . so many questions.
