DIFFERENCE BETWEEN KHROME WERKS +2 SWEEPER AND WILD1 WO575
#41
I was thinking of swapping out the handle bars out on my 09 ultra for something like the wildones. The dealer said that it would be around 1000 bucks due to all the labor involved because i would need a new clutch cable as well as a new brake line. But I guess what adds to the time involved is removing the gas tank where the ABS controller is...so when i heard that estimate i said i guess the stock handle bars are good enough for me. oh well
Don't let them rip you off like that. Fair is fair but that would be a total rip off in my little 'ole humble opinion.

I moved from a 07 RKC with Heritage bars (the stockers killed me after an hour) to a 09 Ultra with sundowner seat. I am wondering which one of these bars would be the most similar on my 09 Ultra as I had on my 07 RKC with Heritage bars? I am not in the pain I was with teh RKC stockers but after 500 - 700 miles I do feel a little discomfort.

I've got a 1 year old set of black powdercoated Khromewerks +2 Sweepers and all +3 Stainless cables (clutch, throttle, cruise/idle, front dual brake) for a 2007 FLHX for sale ($ 125.00 shipped - pay via PayPal). PM me if interested, I'd rather give someone here a deal than putting them on eBay. I loved the look and feel of the Sweepers, but I couldn't leave well enough alone and went with a set of 13" Cyclesmiths.

no need to replace any cables.
just re-route the clutch cable and front brake line to compensate for the added pullback of the bars.
All I did was move the front brake line inside the speeedo/ Tach pod to the bottom of the triple tree (it was going to the top of the tree), no need to disconnect it.
the clutch cable had to be disconnected from the lever and brought throught the forks. (you will see where it neds to go.)
you have to remove the fairing to get to the TBW plug to disconnect it, then took the old bars off and, with the old bars on the workbench, pulled the TBW sensor out far enough to unplug the small connectors that are near the end of the sensor.
then with the new +2 sweepers on the work bench, fed the TBW harness into the new bars and plugged in the TBW sensor and put it into the new handlebar.
the rest is just reassembly...
I also installed "Rumble Collection" heated grips while I had it apart...

Removing the radio is easier than it looks. Just unplug all the connectors and use a ball-end allen key to remove the 4 screws (2 on each side). The radio slides right out.
As for the clutch cable, if you route it outside the fairing in front of the inner fairing, it is not stretched and is fully functional. However, it really doesn't look very good. Do yourself a favor and buy a +4 clutch cable.
When I installed my WO575's, I did all the work and rerouted the stock clutch cable in front of the inner fairing. I then rode to a local independent Harley mechanic who installed the new +4 clutch cable inside the fairing (I didn't want to install it in the tranny myself.....I'm good but not that good).
Much better look and great bars.
