Default roadglide bars on streetglide

Hey can you put roadglide bars on a streetglide? Would they have to be 2010+ if I have a 2010?

look in the parts and accessories catalog and you'll see that the bottom section of the bars where they clamp to the steering head is much wider on the streetglide. if you tried using roadglide bars on a streetglide they'd crash in to the gas tank. look at how wide the electraglide bars are compared to the roadglide bars at the base like mtclassic mentioned.

why is it so different if both bikes have the same tank and front end? Is there a different bar that is more straight like the roadglide that I can use? It just dont make much sense to me that they wouldnt fit but Im glad I asked before buying.

The bar with the grip is the roadglide. the other is a stock egc bar. The cap is different on the two bikes.

if you are looking for a straighter bar check out the Klockwerks Ergo bars. I had them on my EGC and loved them. They are straight.
