me to on the krome Werks +2 sweepers very comfortable. Just installed a couple of weeks ago. I did add a +2 clutch cable though the stock cable was to tight.

Thanks guys,post some pics of those sweet Roadies.

Try the 1993 Wide Glide bars - they're 10" mini-apes (not into apes at all myself) and these are as sweet as can be. Nice pullback, nice wrist and arm position. I can get you a part number if needed (PM me).


No picture of the RG yet....

Here's a great resource for stock dimensions and specs on other HD bars. Those '93 WG bars are sweet though ...

Do you have a pic of these from the riders seat?
I had to reroute the clutch cable to use the Heritage bars too. They work,but I still find myself having to lean forward to hold the bars,& I cannot move them back anymore.
here's two pics from different angles. These bars are about 2 inches higher and 2 inches more pullback than the Heritage bars
I had the same problem with the Heritage Bars..Had to lean forward to get my mitts on em. With these it is a natural reach and the controls are right there.

If you had to guess. How much ht and pull back are the +2 sweepers compared to the stock bars?

That is the one thing about the Heritage style bars for my RG I don't like is the wrist position. They tuen in to far,I need them to turn out a little more horizonally so my wrist are not so bent.
