Default Street Glide handlebar change?

I really would like to change out my stock SG bars for more of a pull-back style, but I'm afraid I can't because of the batwing? Does anyone know of any pull-back/ape hanger style bars that would work?

Thanks in advance.

Stu

If your willing to change all the cables and front brake line then you just need to find a bar wide enough at the base, a SG or other electra glide is limited because of the very wide base needed to clear the fairing, stock base is 15 inchs wide, most others are 10-12. Harley has a pull back bar that will fit in the catalog but its not a ape hanger

Cyclesmiths makes a really nice ape hanger for Batwing bikes. I have seen them on a bike in person and they are really nice. There is also a member here that uses them on his SG. Can't remember his name right now, but he will probably find the thread. You also might try rotating your stock bars back a little.

check out hillcountrycustomcycles.com
This seems to be the ticket for an easy bar change
