Default reduced reach bars

I am looking for reduced reach bars that provide 2-3 inches of less reach then the stock 2016sgs bars and no additional rise. Also would like minimal width increase. I am looking at khromewerk narrow sweeper bars and wonder about the 2+2 vs the +2. I know the 2+2 is 2" taller but the +2 is that stock height and 2 inches of pull back or 2" height and stock pullback?

The +2 narrow sweepers are 2" of pullback with stock height. I went with these bars on my 14 Ultra and I could not be happier with them. They pull back the perfect amount and have (for me) the best wrist angle. The wrist angle was the main reason I did not go with the Harley 2" pullback bars. If you do not need extra height, get these bars.

I went with the +2 narrow sweepers on my 2017 cvo limited and enjoy the heck out of them.
no more numbing of the fingers and as SpiderGuard said the best wrist angle, and eliminated the burning between the shoulder blades on long rides.
Here's a few pics from before and after I changed them

What is the part number on those bars, is it the 300518? How tall are you, I'm 6' and looking for bars that are a little closer to me..

Check out Fat Baggers line of bars. I did the 12" reduced reach bars and they feel the same as stock (width wise) and they were less difficult to install due to the two piece bar design. I have been running them over a year and they feel real nice. and they have the 1.5 in bars as well if you were looking for thicker looking bars

I have had 2+2 narrow khromewerks (Didn't work) and now have Helibars. I'm still having shoulder pain. Called Wildone directly today.

John at Wildone recommended WO579 bars. Said they have 3" pullback compared to stock. I have narrowed down to WO579 and kliphanger ergo bars. Still doing research.

I also went with the +2 narrow sweeper bar from Khromewerks and have been happy with them. They are also one of the less expensive options.
