Can you post pictures of these bars? I would like to see them on a Ultra.

I just got these on my Street Glide. 20% off the bar and clutch cable(when I bought the bike), an 11 dollar gasket is all that is needed
Bars $150(I paid $120)
Cable $99(I paid $80)
Gasket $11
Total cost $260(I paid $210)

3 hours labor (200 dollars) to install.

So 460 for the whole thing.

Well worth it, solved the back problems. BTW - they threw a new set of grips on for free(I bought the grips).

Also, HD says you can't do this on a streetglide. That is so wrong - but you have to be willing to set the bars lower than the mirrors - I like them that way, so it works great. However, you can also remove the fairing mirrors and plug the holes.

Best mod you can make if you get back pain.

i put the krome werks sweepers +2 on last saturday, for the cost of the bars. routed the clutch cable out of the fairing, down the frame like my old softail. total cost= cost of the bars ~ $70. if you can wrench at all, you can change bars.

I went with the Klock Werks Ergo Back bars. My bike is in storage and they called today to tell me its all done. I have had the same issues with back and shoulders. I cant wait to see if it helps.

I went with the Wild 1's pullback and they are a big improvement.
The Wild 1"s are a lot wider than the HD ones. I like that a lot too.

HD says you can't use them with the heated grips. Any way around this I would like to have the pull backs but in chicago I won't give up my grips.

The bike and bars look good. I have ordered me a set of Heritage style bars that have 2 inches more of pull back and 1.5 " of rise over stock road king bars. I will have to do the wrenching myself on this but after studying the service manual, it dosen't look too hard. I can't wait to get rid of that back pain between the shoulder blades

Another guy mentioned he did the '08 Heritage bars on his RK. No new cables/lines needed. Bars are $65 through Zanotti. He's happy with the results.

I'm considering doing something similar. Dealer quoted me $200 labor, including $50 to transfer the heated grips. Not sure what would be involved if I did it myself but will look into it.

Tima, enjoy your "new" ride

Hey Tima,
Congratulations on the pull backs! I wished I'd done mine sooner too! Nice pictures, too.
Hurry up springtime!!
