Need BAR Advice

I have a 2015 FLTRUSE.  LOVE IT.  I ride daily for work.

I find the wrist angle is becoming more and more uncomfortable for me.  I use a back rest and sit up more than I used to.  I am looking for slightly higher bars with less of a sweep.

Any advice on pre-wired bars I can purchase (DIY Install) that use stock Brake and Clutch Cables?
With less of a sweep? 
I heard I can go to 12s sometimes 14s without needing to change the Hydraulic Cables.

Any help is appreciated.  Thanks!

G’day Ramseyusmc,

I had the same issue with Lucille my 2015 FLTRUSE. The stock bars were painful as they were made for little folks with midget arms. IMHO they copied the design off a wheelbarrow handle.

First thing is to make sure you are happy with the seat as changing the seat changes your grip angles etc on the bars.

Go have a look at https://brcustomcycles.com/
They have a bar measurement guide towards the bottom of the home page.

Get an old coat hanger & use the guide to bend it into a set up that suits your desired wrist angle, arm height & so on. Take the measurements that suit you & then start looking for bars that match your measurements. That way you will end up with something that suits you ergonomically rather than a fashion trend.

I had BRs build mine & have had 7 happy years behind them. 

There are lots of options out there so choose your own adventure. Good luck.

Cheers Tom

You can go up to 14in.on a RG without changing out your cables. If you wire up your own bars there's plenty of wire behind the speedo cluster for the that also.

ramseyusmc:
Great Info all, thanks.

Does anyone know or know where I can find the sweep of stock CVO bars?

Major Tom:
G’day Ramseyusmc,

Use the guide from the above post & measure them.

Cheers Tom
