Road Glide Handle Bars

I need a little help looking for longer handlebars for my 2009 Road Glide. I’m coming off a Dyna T-Sport with Dyna defender (police bike) handlebars that fit me perfectly. I have about 7K miles on the Wide Glide bars I put on my roadie. My position is still not quite upright and I find myself using my fingertips on long rides. I need another 2 inches (I know, who doesn’t), any suggestions?

Powder coated +2 Krome Werks sweeper bars. No mods needed to install these bars. Just remove the throttle sensor and reinstall into the new bars. Theres plenty of wiring, clutch cable and brake line to install these bars

I tried the Heritage Bars. Lots of guys love em. I am 6'2" and have a 36" sleeve. I didn't like em. Got a set of Khrome Werks +2 Sweepers and LOVE EM. Most natural feel for me. Lots of us have these and enjoy em. Do a search there's a lot of threads on em.

I would have thought he would be able to lay a set of 12" wide glide bars way back to give him all the reach he needs......is where I am going with this.....Maybe he can chime in with more details.
