Default 09 road glide handlebars

need some help! stock bars are a little to wide, low , and too far forward. would like to keep that same feel but raise bars about 2 ". also bring about 2" closer to me. width could be a little narrower but not that big of deal. any of you rg riders have any ideas? thanks

Had the same issue on my 08. I was going to swap to the Wild One 0517 bars but went another direction. Still have them brand new in box if interested.

Here is the part number your after 56902-08, they are perfect, up 2 inches and back 2 inches. No more back pain at all. You can get them for under $ 50.00 from one of the 20% off Harley dealers.

I just installed the Khrome Werks 300515 +2 Wide Sweeper bars which provide the 2" you're looking for. For details take a look at this thread.
