Looking for FLHT bars, but 2" taller?
My wife is a tall gal (6')that loves her 2005 Ultra Classic, and really likes the feel of stock bars if ONLY they were just a tad taller. . like 2" or 3". Does anyone have a thought or two as to where to look for such a bar that has the following dimensions:dia of 1, hieght of 10, width of 31, pull back of 12.5, center of 11.5. (or very close) Greatly apprciated. O' and glad to be back on the forum!

I'm not sure about the differences in width in the middle between your FLH and my FLTRI, but I just put new Santee bars on my ride. They have a good selection of mini-apes. I went with 1 1/4" dia. 11" rise, 11" pullback, 31" wide tip to tip. The FLTRI center runs in the 7 1/2" to 10" range; you may need/want more in the middle, but check out Santee.

My Wild One 575's are 2 inches taller, but they are also about 2 inches wider and about 2 inches closer. They do have the factory wrist angle and bends. They are 1.25 inch bars, but use 1 inch grips, etc. If you go with these, be sure and get the recommended one piece clamp! Just don't order it from Chicago HD like I did. 7 week wait for shipping. Not worth the 8 dollar savings.

All good information. Thanks everyone for the pics too! Seems like when I find something that looks like it would fit the bill, I find they are like 36" wide!!! . . . trying to find something a bit narrower in the grip to grip. I do have a saw! Finding basically a stock bar, just 2" to 3" taller, not as easy as I had thought.

Klock Werks ergo up bars are about 2 inches higher. I am in the process of replacing the klock werks with a set of cycle smith 16's. I found the klock werks bars to be no wider than stock just taller.
There are some pictures in my profile of the klock werks bars instaled. I am going to be getting rid of them since I have no use for them now. PM me if interested.

I swapped from Heritage bars on my Road King to KromeWerks Sweepers. Good handlebars that can be purchase for $60 most places (vs $200 for Klock Werks). Wrist angle is more "knuckles straight ahead" than the Heritage bars or my buddies stock Ultra. About 3" taller than his Ultra when parked side by side but I did go with the tallest set they make. I was able to reuse all stock controls.
