Default RE: Street Glide pull back handle bars

I had a nice comparison and picturethread awhile back on the difference between the Harley Pullback touring bars and the wild1 575s. They must have deleted it.

To the point and no BS... the pull back bars are way too narrow (for me). They crap my wrists.. the angle is just not right.
Yes you can use your stock cables with the HD bars..but it is a SUPER B!TCH to play with until it fits and works ok, especially the brake and clutch.
Yes they will interfere with the mirrors a little.

I recommend 2" over on the brake and 2-4 inch over on the clutch.

For the record, the wild1 bars are way way better than the HD pullback bars because they are comfortable.
AND I am using my factory cables as well (in both cases). One day I'll change them out.

Good luck

Thats what I was wanting to hear...Hopefully I will get some time to put the bars on...right now I have a tool box drawer full of parts to go on the bike and no free time to install them[:@]
