Default Help on bar slection for SG?
Hey Guys I am really wanting to swap out the bars on my 08 sg but I am not real sure what I need. Problem is during a long ride my shoulders and neck tighten up real bad.

I am thinking I need a bar that comes back a bit and maybe not as wide??
The local HD dealer said that if I change the bars to something like that my faring mirrors will be useless because the bars will be in the way??
Any suggestions on bars or personal experience appreciated.

I really like my 13" Cyclesmith bagger bars.

Wild 1 0575 bars. The best thing I ever bought for the 06 SG.

I am having the same trouble with my neck and between my shoulder blades. I just got the Cyclesmiths 13" apes yesterday to get my arms totally horizontal. They say it really helps. I will be putting them on tomorrow.

Those Wild 1 bars look good. I guess the stock mirrors will have to go though.

I went with the Kuryakyn mirrors when I replaced the bars. I had the same problem with the pain between the shoulders also. The new bar took care of it.

I have the Harley extended bars, I think they call them the "reduced reach bars"? they cured me of my neck and shoulder pains AND the mirrors are only a little blocked. PS, picture is NOT good.
