#516020 polishdog (User) Platinum Boarder Posts: 1088 Thinking about new handlebars... 10 Months, 1 Week ago   Not sure what will work, since I have the Road Glide fairing. Thinking about something like a baby-ape; do they make an 8" ape? I heard Heritage Style bars work too, anyone have these? I would prefer to not have to change any hoses or cables.   Logged       The administrator has disabled public write access. #516024 Roger7886 (User) Platinum Boarder Posts: 1407 Re:Thinking about new handlebars... 10 Months, 1 Week ago   Saw a RG the other day with apes, looked good, but then again I really like RG's. And apes... I've never seen an 8" but that doesn't mean they don't make em.   Logged     I was born An AR in my hands Behind the gun Ill make my final stand And thats why they call me Bad Company   The administrator has disabled public write access. #516030 polishdog (User) Platinum Boarder Posts: 1088 Re:Thinking about new handlebars... 10 Months, 1 Week ago   I find that the stock bars are a bit wide for maneuvering between cars at stoplights. Thinking a higher bar, like a baby ape would help. Maybe something a little narrower? I was originally considering the beach bars, but those would probably be way-wide.   Logged       The administrator has disabled public write access. #516031 Roger7886 (User) Platinum Boarder Posts: 1407 Re:Thinking about new handlebars... 10 Months, 1 Week ago   Yea from what I've read on here beach bars a a good bit wider than stock. Going from my stock to the apes was like going from manual to power steering. Ice also read that the 10" baby apes don't require a cable change, just some re routing of the cables, the question is, did you have to re route the cables for the fairing? Also, talk to Tim B. At metric magic. He's been on here a lot recently to. He will probably be able find whatever size apes you want/need.   Logged     Last Edit: 2012/07/11 15:14 By Roger7886.   I was born An AR in my hands Behind the gun Ill make my final stand And thats why they call me Bad Company   The administrator has disabled public write access. #516032 BlackRain (User) Gold Boarder Posts: 959 Re:Thinking about new handlebars... 10 Months, 1 Week ago   Polishdog how about a beachbar. I have one that was installed on my R* until I switch out to a 12" Ape. Here is a picture of it on my bike.   Logged       The administrator has disabled public write access. #516035 ColorBlind (User) Die living Gold Boarder Posts: 821 Re:Thinking about new handlebars... 10 Months, 1 Week ago   Are bars an issue with the RG faring? I was thinking the just could not be wider than the forks down at the risers. Heritage style - height 8" bars http://www.demonscycle.com/Handlebars-and-Hand-Controls/Handlebars/Chrome-Harley-Heritage-p9678074.html Simple and close to what you want - height 9-1/2" apes http://www.jpcycles.com/product/501-641 thicker bar 1-1/4"and money and you would need new risers - height 8-1/2" apes http://www.jpcycles.com/product/503-397   Logged     If the tanks not empty, I’m not lost…   The administrator has disabled public write access. #516063 btbeam (User) Gold Boarder Posts: 652 Re:Thinking about new handlebars... 10 Months, 1 Week ago   I am putting a rg fairing on my bike and i mocked it up the other day and the issue I had was I couldn't open the glove boxes with my barons star bars. Not a big issue for me as I was going to 13" apes anyway.   Logged       The administrator has disabled public write access. #516066 Just Dave (User) Expert Boarder Posts: 439 Re:Thinking about new handlebars... 10 Months, 1 Week ago   Get someone to help you measure your desired rise, width , and pullback while you are sitting on the bike and take those #'s and look at bars here. If you click on the different bars It will give you all the #'s. If you go back to the home page their is a good guide for measuring. I found my wifes this way and just did not worry about what everybody else liked and found a perfect set of bars for her. http://www.sideroadcycles.com/ImportedMotorcycles/ImportHandlebars/ImportHandlebarsOne.html Whether or not you buy some of theirs is up to you but you can get a good idea of what you want and know more about what you are looking for. She went with these BTW and they are actually Ultra bars for a Harley. http://www.sideroadcycles.com/ImportedMotorcycles/ImportHandlebars/ImportMore/ImportUltra2-2.html   Logged     A Happy Traveler has no Particular Destination   The administrator has disabled public write access. #516101 brown91redcam (User) Another Day In the Wind Platinum Boarder Posts: 2081 Re:Thinking about new handlebars... 10 Months, 1 Week ago   I have a set of Heritage bars that I am thinking about putting on mine they are narrower than the stock style bars I have now and taller,not sure on height but similiar to the baby apes   Logged       The administrator has disabled public write access. #516129 Capt.Kirk (User) "Beam me up Scotty and keep it on two wheels" Platinum Boarder Posts: 1086 Re:Thinking about new handlebars... 10 Months, 1 Week ago   I just ordered 8" up with 10" pullback off e-bay for $45.99+$6.00 shipping. They are the same width as stock R*bars. I already have 2" risers on. We will see.   Logged     The administrator has disabled public write access.
