The one piece clamp is a Harley part. Sorry, can't find the part # right now but you can ask and any HD parts dept. can find it for you.

That price is about right. Honestly, I didn't even pay too much attention. I needed it so I bought it.

I was just happy it wasn't $100 like just about every other HD part I buy. LOL

Glad I didn't have to go thru that on my Ultra. The stock bars are perfect!

Thanks much Steve. Any tips on the best place to pick the bars up at? Online I found them in Cali. Trying to find something closer to save on shipping. Thanks

Which bars did you order for your RG? I have a 09 due in anytime. I went to Heli Bars web site and they show no listing for a RG. By the way two Rg's in one family you must be living right.

I looked at the Wide Glides....seemed to narrow to me.
Went with Heritage bars....wish I'd have made the change last year!
