Looking for new handle bars that will not require me to ride leaning forward, any good options? I am not a tall person at 5'9" on a new 2012 cvo sg.

Appreciate any feedback.

wild one 575's    should do the trick.

X2...better wrist position with the 575's too.  They look a hell of a lot better, IMO.

I've got the same question for my CVO RoadGlide about the handle bars I'm finding myself leaning forward. I've been told a 2 and 1 bar , or a Heritage bar. I want a black bar and I think it'll need to come back and up to fit right.
Any idea how one could get an idea on what you'd need?

The Harley Touring Pullbacks are 2" up and 2" back.  The web site and the catalog both say stainless steel and need to change cables/wiring but neither is true.  They are chrome and you can use stock wires.

Both the wife and I had these bars on our Street Glides (mine was CVO) and a number of other SESG owners on this forum are using them.....that's where I got the idea.  Even though they're billed as 2" up and 2" back my wife had hers pulled back even more so hers were probably more like 1" up and 3" back.

Wild One Chubbys 575 bars here, too. They move your hands about 2" up, 2" back, and out a bit - and give you a much better wrist position than the stock bars. They are 1 1/4" in diameter, so they look a lot better than 1" bars.

Wild One also makes the Chubbys 578 bars now, too. I have a friend who just put them on his Ultra recently. They are more like mini-apes, and position your hands about 2" above the 575 bars. You will likely need new clutch and brake lines with those, whereas with the 575 bars you will most likely not... I didn't.

I'm 5'-8" and I'm running 12" Monkey Bars from Yafee. I absolutely love them!

Last October we road from St. Louis to Pensacola, FL. First long ride with the new bars. Definitely the best piece I added to the scoot.

Style, comfort and everything in between.

Had the 575s.  Wanted taller. 577s.   Love em.

Road Glide is a different animal, so ignore the recommendations for the Street Glide.

Was Jim able to internally wire them for you too?

So the 575's can be installed with no mods at all ?

No mods required for mine.....even installed the GPS wiring internally as well as Heat Demons.

Are the handgrips a one time use? The Rumble grips will have to ordered, VIN protected to allow time for dealer to get.
