Default Taller Bars Tri Glide

I don't see much in this section about changing Bars on triglide...I would love my bars 2" taller and 2" closer and have looked into it on the touring pages. Thought I would throw it out here in Tri Glide since that's what I have. Anyone change bars out and to what? I would like to try the Yaffe 10" classic bagger bar but when I go to JP cycles to order it says won't fit triglide? But they seem to work on street glide and unlimited models? so I wonder if they really do work for the TriGlide. Any advice is good
Thanks
Hap

I want to change too, been looking at the La Chopper, Twin Peaks, 10"
I've heard no changes needed, but can't say for sure...my biggest concern is the clutch cable...some body please chime in..

I just changed to the Hd reduced reach bars which are suppose to be the same as what they use to call the 2" pull backs that we had on our 2010 & 2012. I like them just as well as as I did the 2" pull backs.

Default Could be

Reverse switch....that is an idea. I will look into that a bit more.
I have the reduce reach bars coming. Will try EM and see if they do enough for me.

I just went thru this whole process....it is different for the 2014's than previous years.

They make clutch line the length you'll need for 2" taller and 2" back. They also make the brake line for that configuration. If you go much more you'll need to get a custom line made for the brake side...as of last week no one was making them.

The will need to install a new twist grip for the throttle.

There is no difference in the bars for the Tri-Glide and the other batwing 2 wheel bikes.

There IS a difference between the bars from 09-13 and the '14's.

Check out post #56 in the following thread...that is the latest update on my handlebars...I will be posting pics soon of it finished up.

Default Diffferance

So Kevin what is diffferance between 09-13 and 2014. Looking at bars in catalogs they don't list the 2014 as fitting for yaffe 10. But in touring section ,a
Many have put them on streetglide 2014 so wonder why not fit a 2014 trike?
Any input is appreciated. I really want to try EM of there is a possibility.
