I just had the dealer install the Wildones Chubby 517 Road Glide bars on my '08.
Man what a difference. I recommend them. I'm 5'11" and sort of short-armed so the new bars put my hands considerably closer to me. Now I can lean back against my rider backrest, put my feet on the highway pegs and relax for the long haul. With that six gallon tank I can see me putting lots of miles under me before needing a stretch.
Be aware that Wildone's makes a special bar for the '08 to accomodate the TBW. Don't buy the old style they don't fit without modification.
The dealer said they had to send out to make up a different brake line to work with these bars because my bike has ABS. The look is clean with the internal wiring.
Check out the wildones website for a photo of the Road Glide #517 bars.
