Go with the Heritage Style bars. Just remember the bars that come stock on the Heritage Softail Classics & the Heritage Style bars are NOT the same bars! If you go look closely at a Heritage Softail Classic you'll notice that the handgrip areas of the bars curve down more than the Heritage Style bars do. I'm 5'11 & also felt like I was leaning over a bit when riding so much that I could feel my stomach tighten up everytime I rode. These Heritage Style bars were the answer! What you want is this:
Part# 56902-08
Fits '08-later FLHR, FLHRC and FLTR models with stock ABS or non-ABS brake lines. No additional cables or lines required.
MSRP US $79.95
Here's what they look like installed...

i did, just yesterday, change out my 09 RK bars to Heritage style bars. PN# 56902-08. AS stated in the MOCO wishbook, "does not require any cabling changes and offers 3" more pullback. MSRP $79.95. I also changed the handlebar bushings to a poly bushing. PN# 56298-03 MSRP $39.95. reduces vibration and less flexing. Did this myself in about a hr or so. The Heritage bars also have the holes for the internal wiring which i didn't do.

Cloud09King - thanks! I checked out the bars in the new 2009 catalog and those Part# 56902-08 Heritage bars are the ones I want. Good call! Now I have to steel myself to pay for the bars and buy new grips, as I believe you wreck the left one when you take it off. Or am I wrong?

my husband put the heritage bars on my 08 RKC and it made a world of differance for me, he saved the grips but I had him install more comfortable ones since they were off any way. It really is easier with TBW instead of the cable controlled throttle.
