Thanks for the great write-up. I almost ordered these bars from Dennis Kirk last night but then it hit me that if these only come back 2 inches more from the stock Limited bars then they wouldn't give me any additonal pullback on my Limited Low bars since they supposedly already are 2 inches back from stock. Am I thinking through this correctly? Everything I read about the "Lows" is that the bars come back 2 inches. For example, "A pull-back handlebar places hand controls two inches closer to the rider, putting many riders in a more comfortable position that can reduce back and shoulder strain."

I wish that I would have taken the before/after pics. I put them on my low, hold your hands about 3" above and about 1" back of your bars sitting on your bike and see how that feels. You can adjust them back more than the stock bars. I really like it. I'm 5'9" if that helps. 1st pic is stock, 2nd is with the narrow 2+2.

Thanks, that's what I needed to know. If they come back 1" from my stock bars on this "Low" model then I'm going to get them. Did you install them yourself?
Yes I did install them myself. I put on the lighted hand controls and heated grips at the same time. It took a while for my brain to get past doing all of it at once but I enjoyed doing it. It's not hard.
Frosty
I finally got my 2+2s installed....was having inner fairing painted and a did a bunch of other upgrades....wired the bars internally, used the crappy SE wiring kit that comes with the wrong connector (yes you can solder the TBW wires BTW)...finally went for a ride this weekend...friggin love the bars!!! THE ACHE IS GONE!!!! WOOHOO!!!
