Default Need some ideas for handlebars
I'm looking to put new handlebars on my road glide custom this winter and looking for some help or ideas. I want to stay around a 9 or 10 inch rise not to crazy, thinking black as well. Please give me some ideas Thanks.

Try this, if you don't like something about a bar they will modify to your specs.

Be sure to look at the Custom Handlebars tab. There are four pages.

Check out BR's Custom Bars. They will do a set of bars exactly to your specs/measurements. I did the "New Wave Bagger." LOVE THEM!

BR's bars makes great stuff, the quality is top shelf, but be prepared to wait. My promised 4 week delivery time on a crash bar, was actually 9+ weeks. If you can live with long long delivery times, then I would highly recommend them. If you want something quickly I would go elsewhere.

Here's a word of advice: Buying handlebars is just like buying shoes. There are two considerations: fitment and style.

If you don't get both, then don't get the bars.
