Sat on an Indian Chief Classic, loved how the bars fit me. They look like Heritage style bars to me and are mounted more like horizontal than vertical. I have a 2011 RKC with Heritage bars can I roll them back and the controls too? Anyone riding like this? I'm trying to post a pic of the Indian for illustration.
Thanks Ranger, that's what I thought I may have to try to see how close to this I can get them, I don't need near that much but the Indian hit me just right. I'm reaching too far.
Funny I like this Indian AND the new Roadglide, different strokes.
I'm thinking 5-10 degrees tops from inline with the forks should be good. I can reach them it's just a bit of a stretch. I moved them once but didn't want to go too far because I like the mini ape look and didn't want to have to move controls.
Some of the Victory bars have a very wide range of functional rotation. I found them to be very comfortable high or low. Not trying to start a Vic/HD debate... just suggesting another possible bar option.
Just went out and made the smallest adjustment possible,I seems like it's better but I didn't ride. I recently learned how easy it was to adjust RK bars from another thread. You don't want to know how I was doing it before!
Looks the gadget guru int that Vic pic.
