Default Heritage Bars

Looking for those of you who have installed the Heritage bars and how do you like them? Do they offer enough pullback without being too tall? If you have any pictures please share. Thanks.

Eagleman

Hopefully this will give you a good idea. 08 RKC with sundowner seat + heritage bars. I'm 6' and originals bars had me kind of hunched over the bars kind of like a sportbike. Went with the seat change first then changed bars. The bars came back about 2 1/2" and up about 2". Just remember you can tilt them to came it up or down.

Put them on my 10 RKC. Made a world of difference. Pullback is fine for me and got rid of that ache between the shoulder blades. I'm also installing the Sundowner seat this winter for a little more back support.

Installed them on on 09 RG. It made the bike much more comfortable for me to ride. Would like about 1 more inch of pull back but they fixed the back ache I was getting with the stock bars.

I have them on my RK. They are great - puts me in the right sitting position not hunched over or reaching too far. I'm right at 6 foot in height. I have lower back issues and the Heritage bars help to take the strain off my back as they allow me to sit in a more correct (for me) upright position. Arm reach is comfortable and induces no shoulder strain. The setup works great for me.

I went with the Wild 1 Chubby's. IMO, the 1 1/4" looks alot better that 1" Heritage bars. Also, there is plenty of room to run the wires internally for a cleaner look. I went with 10" and they are very comfortable for touring.

One of the first mods I did to my bike, I did not like them too narrow for me and too much pullback, made for an extremely weird and uncomfortable wrist angle.

On my 2011 I had heritage bars installed before I took delivery. Best mod I did and didn't have to change any cables.
