HD reduced Reach Batwing Handlebars

[tbear]

I had a set of Horizon ES Black HeliBars installed on my 2015 TriGlide while I was at the Sturgis Rally last month. As soon as I sat on the bike I fell in love. Hands down, this is the best set up I have found to let a short (5’ 3”) rider sit up straight. I can actually lean back against the rider backrest with my arms still bent at the elbow. Getting a better seating position is more important now that I’m getting older; my lower back does not like leaning forward. FYI, The MoCo “Reach” seats were a non-starter; I did not like half way sitting on the gas tank.

I have the 2+2 reach bars but still sit on the tank. Are you saying that the reach seat should help get me off the tank also???

My handlebars cost $134 and dealer install was $186. Needed NO extra parts, lines, etc...

My dealer said there's no way a H-D dealer can install handlebars on a TG for under $1000. - - PERIOD!!!

Now I have to wonder, if 2 dealers(were they H-D dealers) can do it for 1/5 the cost of my dealer, what's wrong with this picture? I can maybe see a couple hundred dollars difference, but $800? Something's wrong somewhere. Who are your dealers, I want to give them to my dealer to call and get the skinny on how they do it. Also if not too far away, I may just ride to your dealer and have them do mine.

For those prices, I'd get mine done in a New Your minute.

I had our HD dealer put on the 2" pull backs, $150 labor, $150 bars, no need for any additional cables. I don't understand the disparity in labor for the bars, if they are going by the book, it probably says all cables need replaced, my service folks say no problem, 1 1/2 hours labor.

Even replacing all the cables shouldn't cost over $1000 to install.

5X40, you're the closest of the 3 posters so far that had a dealer install your bars for under $200. I may just ride to them and have them install my bars. Which dealer is it??

My dealer also said no cables needed. $134 for the bars & free install when I bought the bike.

Still waiting to hear dealer names. They sound like great dealers and should have their name mentioned and be given "Atta-Boys".

PosseRider and Zammy, I don't know if it makes any difference, but does it matter what year it is??? If so what year are yours?

I have a 2014 and I have heated grips. That might make a difference in cost?

Thanks again.

No heated grips Gary, the trike is a 15.
