Help finding right bars
Yes I know...another thread about bars...but I'm having a hard time finding Who and what model will do what I want....
for my 2010 Streetglide.
Compared to the stock bars I want the replacements to be 3 to no more than 4 inches taller(want to keep hands behind fairing) and have about 2 to 3 inches more pullback (closer to the rider) and no more than about 2 inches wider (grip to grip) and lastly the grip end to be more parallel to the riders shoulders so the wrists are not cocked at an angle.
Lastly with above replacement bars what other items will I need, example clutch cable (+ what length), ABS brake lines? if so what length and the TBW wiring (+ what length)
Thanks for any help/insight you can provide.

EXACTLY what i'm looking for.... get ready to hav your head spin doing research on bars.....
everyone sems to measure theirs in a different way...
as for width they ALL sem to be 5-6" wider then stock.... why?
height wise the Yaffe 10" monkey bars seem to be good but i'm worried i'll get tired of the trendy shape...
I am actually considering buying a set of Wild 1 577s and cutting them down a few inches...
there are also Santee 11" bars which seem to be a good option....strange thing is they are only $100 which makes me wonder about quality
SUcks doesn't it...things are so out of hand today that if you arent' spending a pile of money you feel like there might be something wrong.....

IMO, the most comfortable bars for a SG are 13" such as Cyclesmiths. The way the fairing is made it will still protect your hands from wind. If you only go 2-3" higher than stock all you will see in you fairing mounted mirrors is knuckles.

I decided to go with KW Sweepers +2 and will drill out my fairing mirror holes probably 1/2 to 3/4 inch higher to accomodate the new mirrors(wicked image fast lane's) that I got, so I don't have to look at my knuckles in the mirrors. The Sweepers are much more straight angled and not so buck-horny . The sweepers I believe are only a couple inches higher and a couple inches more pull-back. They sell for under a $100 bux shipped too.
I am 6'3 and I ended up going with KW Ergo Standards. but may go with the up bars if they are still to low... give them a look.

Thanks everyone so far for their suggestions...... Another question...Does anyone know the partnumber of the stock streetglide bars? That way I could at least look them up and see what they show for measurements compared to the other HD bars...

I belive that all touring bikes have the same handelbars, no differentiation.
