Default Dyna owner visiting with a V-Rod handlebar question

My brother-in-law is 50 years old, 5'8", and has some back issues. Last year he purchased a 2005 VRSC-B and experiences some discomfort because of the reach to the bars. He would like to sit more upright.

I found a set of reduced reach bars offered by Harley. The part # is 56533-02. Here is a item description for Surdyke:

V-ROD REDUCED REACH HANDLEBARS
This 2" pull-back handlebar positions the rider in an upright seating posture for long-ride comfort. When combined with the Forward Position Seat P/N 52024-01 and the Reduced Reach Foot Control Kit P/N 50270-02, the V-Rod can be tailored to fit the shorter rider’s physical size. Kit includes one-piece handlebar and stainless steel brake line assembly. Fits ’02-later VRSCA models.




Neither one of us is familiar with the differences in the V-Rod models. It says above these bars will fit the 02 and later VRSCA models.

Will they work on his 05 VRSC-B?

If not, does he have other options? Most interested in options which will not require wire extensions or complete cable and line changes.

Thanks in advance. Any help is greatly appreciated.

John

B model has a different riser. he should be able to use just about any regular bar. The A model ones have the risers built in. they dont fit the B set up. Go to 1130cc.com all the vrod info is there.

John,

I have exactly the same problem as your brother in law , only i ride a dyna. I wonder if those bars would fit my FXd. Might be an easy solution to risers, speedo, etc etc. .

Any insight appreciated
thanksWes
