Went out and got my 2" Pullback bars from Harley this morning. This will be my 4th Ultra to get them. I'm 5'8" and I've always had to ride slightly leaned forward with both hands on the bars, and have to lean a lot more when doing full lock turns. Bars used are Part # 56176-08 I did not get ANY extra stuff regardless of what the parts guys will tell you.
Just wanted to confirm, did you need any wire extenders and if so which ones? I've ordered same bar for my '14 LTD and I want to stay with internal wires.
Thanks!

Nope, no extensions needed. There is about a FOOT of extra wiring for the Twist Grip sensor, and the Heated grip wiring (both are internal wiring) the switch housings each have a 4 wire harness that runs external of the bars on the LTD and have about 4-6" of extra harness.

This bike is a bit easier than previous years.
However after about 4-5 hours of riding I was still developing the pain in the neck and between the shoulder blades from having my head tilted up slightly due to the reach.
After riding today about 8 hours, I no longer had any pain, and was able to recline back against the backrest and relax, both feet up on the highway pegs, and both hands on the bars with arms relaxed.

For those of you who want to put these on a street glide, I just put the 2" pullbacks on my 2014 FLHXS this past weekend. As JT HD said there is adequate length in the stock wiring and hydraulic lines. I think the fairing is the same as the Ultra except there weren't as many accessories to unplug. As JT pointed out there is a slight rubbing of the tank by the brake and clutch lines with the stock position of the banjo nuts. One other thing I noted is the base of the pullback bars is 1.5-2 inches wider than the stock bars so they do not fit exactly in the handlebar channels in the fairing. Not sure if the distance on the prior years fairings measure different. I positioned them about 1/4-1/2 inch from the fairing and the height of the grips was just perfect for me. This could be an issue for someone who wants them higher. The additional 1.5-2" of pullback pretty much eliminated the reaching issue for me. Also, I am able to see with the stock mirrors. Took me about 4 hours to do. Thanks again JT HD.
