I installed these bars on my 07 UC, and have been very pleased, takes some time to install, and during the installation, I had the inner fairing painted, which really up the bike.

Whats the difference between the sweepers and the extened reach bars from the factory? The factory ones are up and back 2" and by the looks of the photos thats what the sweepers do?? I have the ER on and like them.

The difference is the hand positioning. The angle on the sweepers don't make your hands turn in.

Thanks to all that have taken the time to post their experience in changing bars on the Roadglides, the information was invaluable. A special thanks to Phil.

I like the looks of these bars. p/n 300504?
