Heritage Bar Question 3 Years ago  
I remember someone has put Heritage bars on their *. What I don't remember is any information about the rise and pullback. Anyone on here know how they compare to the risers? I am a little on the short side and would like to have my bars a little closer. Not sure which is better, risers or Heritage bars. Just looking for opinions.

Re:Heritage Bar Question 3 Years ago  
Thanks Doser1972. My neighbor just bought a 2009 Road King. He is about my height and that was the first thing he did. I stopped by the local HD shop the other day and asked about them. first question, what year? Apparently there is a difference. Do you remember what year or part number you used?

Re:Heritage Bar Question 3 Years ago  
I never had Heritage bars on a Roadie but I had them on 2 different Heritages. As soon as I swapped them for FatBoy bars it felt like I put power steering on. With the Heritage bars it felt like I was riding in mud.

Re:Heritage Bar Question 3 Years ago  
Thanks for the replies. Sound like I need to take a tape measure out and try to find what I think may feel good. I am 5'10". My stock bars aren't real bad but I "think" about a 2" rise and 2" pullback would be good.
