After an extended road trip I was getting pains in my neck/shoulders from having to lean forward for so long. I switched to +2 sweepers and just didn't like how they felt so then changed to Harley's touring pullback handlebar (56176-08)and that was the ticket! They's the same style as stock but up +2 and back +2 and feel great on long road trips....

Hated the Stock Bars on my 09' Street Glide from day one. 3 months ago I changed to HD Tallboy Touring Bars. They were better that Stock but still really similar. Picking up the Klock Werks Ergo Up Bars tomorrow. We'll see...

I put the kromewerks +2 sweeper bars on my SG and am very happy with them. They are very ergonomic especially with the position of your wrists. I will caution that you will have to use handlebar mounted mirrors which was fine for me because i never liked the function of the fairing mounted type that comes with the SG. The handlebar mounted mirrors are at eye level and much more comfortable for the eyes and easier to view traffic in the rear.

13" Cycle Smith bars. Just did a 1500 mile ride for vacation and the bars are great.

I have wicked 1 fast lane fairing mirrors on w/ the KW +2's. They stick out a little further on the sides and I think are ok, at least for the past couple weeks that I have had them on. I am getting used to them, but may yet go with perch mirrors. I don't know yet.. The verdict is not in on that subject just yet..
I do like the KW Sweepers +2 though.
