Default 2" up; 2" Back Handlebar Suggestions

Hi Guys,

The thread name says it all. I have a 2008 Street Glide with stock handlebars. I'm looking for some bars that are 2" higher and 2" pulled back from stock. Any and all suggestions would be appreciated.

I ran the KW +2. Loved them too. Never used the 2+2. How tall are you? Reach?

I'm 5'8" and have about a 34" sleeve length. Right now when I sit comfortably riding down the highway, my 2 fingers on each hand are resting on the grips, not my palms. I want my palms resting on the grips at a comfortable riding position.

Im 5'10" ish. Long reach. Sounds like the 2+2 will be perfect for you.

I have been looking at them. I just wanted to see what you guys thought.

Will I be able to run the stock cables?

Here's the pull Bach on the +2 on my 08 SG. I had to add a +2 clutch cable. I tried re routing and adjusting it out but it was just on the edge of too tight. Plus the stainless braided cable looked better. All your internals should be fine. As well as the brake line. You will need different mirrors. These are kuryakyn scathe on the low profile stems. They have a low profile teardrop too.

I am going to purchase these for my 2012 Street Glide. Here is a link to another thread here on forum that was very helpful for me:
