RE: Road Glide Bars - Again
Does anyone know what the stock bar dimensions are for a RG? The WO bars do look cool, are they all drilled for internal wiring or is that a separate option?
Thanks,
Thanks,

RE: Road Glide Bars - Again
So this might be a dump question but is there a way to "mock" up how the bars would fit on my bike. $200 is a lot of money in my opinion to hope they are confortable. I would like to get an idea of how they will feel before ordering them. It does not sound like they are in the dealers so I cant actually see one.
Thanks,

Thats mydilemma as well, I would hate to dump that kind of cash on something I don't like and can't use.

I just added Wild 1's WO 504 to 2007 Road Glide. I am 6'1". They look and feel awsome and work with stock cables. They give a very nice low profile look.

My dealer had three or four different types in stock. He brought them all out to my bike, had me sit on the bike and held each one in the approximate position they would be while riding. I made the decision that way. It took about 30 minutes.
If you check out their website you can see photos of the bars on your bike to get an idea.

I'm not sure I'm understanding this thread very well.
The Hell's Foundry 1.25" chubby, high polish solid stainless, drilled for internal wiring is too expensive at $189.00, yet you recommend the similar configuration Wild 1 bars varying in price from $205.00-$230.00, linked to here at JP Cycle:http://www.jpcycles.com/productgroup...ley&page=1
The Hell's Foundry bar is not a stock replacement bar 1.0", it's a stock configuration, meaning height, width and pull-back. Comparing it to a $50.00 stock handlebar is like calling your bike a Suzuki.The stock configuration allows for the customer to continue to use all stock cables and significantly upgrade thecontrol area by eliminating all wires. Using a taller bar, ie apes or mini-apes will require cable changes adding additional expense. Many Road Glideowners use a Road King bar for a custom look. This adds 8 inches of pull-back and doesn't suit all.

Chrome plating vs. stainless: Stainless is a material. Chrome plating is a top-coat finish. Stainless will not rust or peel, and if marked can typically be buffed to a highfinish easily.Stainless (depending on grade) typically has a 'warmer' color tone than chrome.
