Default Help with Bars PLEASE!

Guys, (and Gals), I need your help with a bar situation I have. I did search and results were all over the place. I have a specific set of parameters I am looking for and I KNOW many of you have gone through this same ordeal.

2009 ElectraGlide Classic, I have it set up like a Streetglide. I just got a Mustang solo so I am now sitting back about an inch and a half or so. I now feel like I am having to reach for my bars and cannot sit upright. So I am looking for a set of bars that will be closer to me. With all the options, angles, pull backs, reach, etc. I am lost.

All I want is a bar with very similar wrist angle as stock, but just a couple inches closer to me without having to change cables, wiring, etc. I do not care about internal routing. I would like to find something at a decent price as well.

I was going to purchase the HD extended Bagger Bar, but when I put it in my hands, the wrist angle is all closed up! Horrible! That will not work. Why couldn't they make that bar with the same wrist angle? The shop had a set of HD 12" Apes on a Streetglide and those were almost too much the opposite way for wrist angle, and the guy was saying would have to do new cables, lines, etc.

So here I am, bike is tore down (because I thought I was getting the HD bar). Surely someone has gone through this same deal and can show me the light.

Thank you in advance for what worked for you!

Yup! I am checking those out! The WO575 looks like it would do the trick. They have a pic of the stock bar with a set of 575's superimposed. Looks like the wrist angle is about the same as stock and bars are closer. This may be the one!

Those will be closer, I did not find them to be any taller, but they are wider.
I think the wrist angle is very similar to stock.
They are very comfy.

They will have to be internally wired and have a +4" clutch cable.

He is a picture of them raised all the way up:


My signature is different bars entirely.

I am looking at the WO578, 10" Apes. The GF has the WO576 14" on hers. I like the wrist angle of those 42 degrees. Hers are just a bit tall for my taste.
