    I know what you are all thinking, and you are right we all could do with a couple inches more????. But what i need is more reach on my handlebars, i have a 2012 road king and my arms are a bit short, i am wanting to know what options are there for more reach. New set of handle bars, risers etc. and what looks good. Thanks

    Have you looked at these:

     
    52619-08A  Reduced Reach Seat, TOURING 
     
    Reduced Reach forward position seats are designed to move riders with shorter inseam closer to the controls and to bring the legs about 1 closer together so that feet rest firmly on the pavement. The scooped bucket-shape saddle is enhanced with added back support padding to move the rider approximately 1/2 lower and 1/2 forward. The combination positions the rider closer to the hand and foot controls to offer both comfort and confidence. Seat can be equipped with optional rider backrest for added support and comfort. Measurement based on 08 Electra Glide Original Equipment seat. For some 10 and all 11 models the Reduced Reach Seat is 1/2 higher than the Electra Glide Original Equipment seat.

    They`re designed for the average joe , they are meant to give the rider that upright to slightly forward neutral sorta rider position which is great for your back and has you in a good position when anticipating cornering if your an averge joe , i`m 6ft and find the posi ok (used to it i guess), but everyone has different preferences .
    Seat or risers would sort it out but would also change the look a bit ?
    I love the roadie bars as they are a slight weight forward lean into the wind , had a heritage with the 10"bars , they were good , but sat ya up straight , or slightly slouched back which was sort of a bit of a lazy cornering posture i thought and got a bit much for me on a big day , much prefer the neutral slight lean forward for riding ?
