Hey SBW , I'm pretty sure all the "Electra Glide" FLHT and FLHX models are the same bars.
The Road Glide and Road King models are different though.
I have noticed that some are set (rotated) slightly different , for no apparent reason.
My 06 FLHT were kinda high , the 09 are set kinda low.
The bars did change in 08 and 09 for the throttle by wire controls , but are backward compatible with previous years because of the right side notches for the TBW.
The notches just aren't used for the earlier model bikes.

from what i understand the eg standard bars are a bit higher, cause with the streetglide you have the fairing mounted mirrors, so they're lower than the standard eg bars. i plan on replacing my streetglide bars with taller pullback type bars and put regular harley mirrors on the bars, as the streetglide mirrors are okay, but not nearly as safe as ones which are handlebar mounted. just my opinion, but take a tape measure to the showroom, and you might see a difference. even span with your fingers/hand the two bikes. should be able to tell by the rise alone.
