Default Bat Wing Handlebars on a Road Glide

I do not like the flat bend of the bars on my 2012 Road Glide Ultra. Anyone know if there any clearance issues with replacing them with the stock batwing bars? I much prefer the bend on them.

Well...I know that my Road Glide bars wouldn't fit on the batwing fairing..so I'd assume its the same the other way, but not 100%. I don't have a RG fairing to test the fit for ya though. Best to hit up a local shop or dealer and see if they have a take off to try out.

IIRC, the RG bars were too wide for the batwing fairing. If thats correct, you'll likely find that the batwing bars are too narrow to exit the fairing properly without hitting.
