Default New Bars for Road Glide

Hi all,
Anybody running bars like the ones pictured?? If so, how do you like them? Where did you get them? The bars in the pic are from Sinister and are $365 in black....OUCH.

Thanks,
RJ

I don't have those bars, but I do have Wild One 575Bs and love them. The black matches the control housing perfectly and are really comfortable. Plus I picked them up for $180 shipped, so that's half of what Sinister is asking.

Completely different bar. I am running Heritage bars now which are similar to the 578's. I just don't like the look on my bike.

The pic is not the greatest. You could visit Sinister's site for better pics: http://www.sinisterindustries.com/ch...sinister36.asp It is Paul Tracy's RG, the Indy driver.

Not sure about the knee thing. Then again, I don't think I have ever ridden the bike with the bars fully locked.

What's up RJ? Haven't seen you around here for a while. Hope you are well.

Those bars are sick looking. They look really wide though. I used to have a Road King w/ Beach Bars on it. Felt like I was riding a wheel barrow.

Hey Zach,
It has been awhile. I got into riding other two wheelers and didn't spend much time on the HD but now I am looking to freshen up the ol' steed.

I hear what you are saying about the width. I built a bike with beach bars too. That is why I was hoping to get some feedback from people with those bars. I have been seeing them on a couple bikes around here so I assumed they were more popular. I might roll the dice and try them just because they look cool. Won't be the first time I wasted money on a bike to look cool!!

Let me know if you have business in town.

RJ
