Default Replace '08 Road glide
Bought & installed Heritage bars for 08 Road Glide out of 09 H-D Catalog.
Lots better.
Thanks for all your input.

Nope.. Did have to change cables or nothing. I'm 5'10, don't have to reach forward and my arms are level.

I love the sweepers and they will work with stock cables, brake line, and wiring. I'm 5'10" with average arm length.

I bought an Ultra seat but went back to the stock seat. The Ultra seat put me too close to the tank. I have the HD adjustable backrest. In town, I sit up straighter. On the freeway with my feet on the cruise boards, I like to lean back so I adjust the backrest.

I have the Clearview medium which is 1" taller than stock. I wish the Clearview was a bit shorter. When I lean back, it is just a bit tall. Around town, it's fine.

Hope this helps.
Steve

Why would you want my Roady? . . . Your SG looks nice.

Yes, I think I have it all dialed in finally. Just changes the rear tire at 11K so we're ready for another year of great riding.

Take care and ride safe.
