I had pretty much decided that I was gonna get the 56176-08 pull back bars,until I read a bit more of this thread and someone mentioned the bars on the Ultra and Limited Low models.Has any one directly compared these two bars side by side?

Today I'm installing the reduced reach bars 56176-08 on my 14 SG..I've ran into an issue.I ran the left and right switch pak wiring inside the bars.They are a few inches short now,they won't reach the connectors they gotta plug into under the audio sys.I'm wondering if anyone else has tried this and found a solution?The bars look so clean without the wiring ty-wrapped to the outside.TIA

There is a thread about these bars around here somewhere.
http://www.khromewerks.com/SWEEPER-B...1029-1277.html

I just installed the Krome Werks 2 +2 Narrow Sweepers on my 2016 Street glide special to replace the Harley 2" pullbacks. I had the Harley 2" pullbacks on my previous two Ultras and they worked fine -- but not with the Rushmore faring and frame. They were two low and made me lean foward. The dealer could not raise them without bumping the frame. I have not not ridden much yet with the new bars but they are difinitely an improvement and I can use my backrest. I think Harley redesigned the Rushmore frame and fairing but not the pullback bars.

I switched from the Harley pullbacks to the 2+2 narrow sweepers too, it is an improvement, not day and night but worth it to me. A bit more slack in my arms to use the backrest.
