I sat on a 2012 CVO Road Glide Custom at the dealer today and the bars felt much better then the stock ones on my 2010 Road Glide Custom. The part number for these bars is 55800171. Does any one have the dimensions for these bars? Unfortunately the dealer did not.
Don't have the measurements, but a friend of mine who has a 2012 CVO said the way the bars make your hands bend in at an angle hurts his wrist after a few hours of riding. Maybe the CVO guys can chime in with their experiences.
For this reason I installed the Heritage bars and have been very happy with them.

The wrist angle is fine for me, and I can't really complain but I haven't been on it for more than 2 hours at a time. I do plan to change the bars soon because I like the looks of the 12 chubby outlawz bars.
The funny thing about that. I hated the heritage bars on my Heritage because the wrist angle, but they never bothered me on the glide. I think it all depends on how far back you pull them.
I had acquired that information and will look to see if I still have it. I called HD technical assistance or whatever it's called and they provided me with the specs.
I purchased and installed the CVO bars on my 2011 RGU and it made quite a difference over the stock bars. Having said that, if i were putting bars on again I would opt for something with a couple inches more pullback.

Thank you everyone, if anyone else has any other thoughts ideas or suggestions I am all ears.
Please post the dimensions of the CVO bars if you can find them.
My friends 09 has Drag Specialties part number 0601-1241. His bike has been lowered 1" in the front and he has the 12" shocks in the back as well as a Brawler seat. His bars are a little to tall and little to wide. I am concerned about the center width and the pullback. I am also hoping the bars won't block the gauges.
End Rise Width Center Width Pullback
0601-1241 12.50" 36.50" 10.50" 12.00"
0601-1707 10.08" 34.45" 7.46" 7.60"
Thank you.
