Good looking bars. I bet they help a lot with the reach.

those look very nice. do you know how far they come back? my problem is I'm 6 4 my reach isn't the problem, but that I sit so upright with the stock bars I find I'm leaning forward and down too much. I raised the stock bars to the highest forward and find I'm leaning down and forward still. since I'm still learning the steering, I've only had the trike r two weeks. It seems like I'm getting too the end of turning on b ig turns when I lean forward that much. the position also is very awkward. I like to push against my backrest to help with the leaning part , helps with the falling off feeling.
I had 12 bars on my street glide, but feel those may be too much for the trike.
The pull back is a LOT on my bars. I am only 5'1". I had Harley pull back bars (back 2 inches) on my sportster. They were not enough and I still had to lean forward. My only issue with these bars is that they sit kind of high for me. I can't lower them any more or I would be unable to lock the forks.
The Harley parts catalog page 573 gives a lot of info on Harley bars.
If you had something that worked on your street glide, why would they not work just as well on the trike? Did you keep those bars when you changed bikes?
Try the easy things first...change your seat. I tried a reach seat which helped some, but not near enough. Would a reach seat or just a different seat help you? See if your local Harley dealer has demo seats. Try different seats on your bike. Way easier to switch seats!! I know that Walter's Brothers in Peoria has demo seats. It would be worth a try. If I can be any further help, pm me.
