Heather,

Thanks for the info. Can you tell me which "pull back bars" you used and how much of a problem it was to install.

Sean installed them. They were the HD Sporster Pull Back bars. Sean will explain installation.

They are pretty easy to install.........depending on your wrenching ablity, I would say I am at a middle level of wrenching, with manual Four bolts on the neck, couple of bolts per switch housing and clamps. I would say get a service manual to assist with the connect of the new throttle cables, bleeding the new brake line and reconnecting the new clutch cable, if you have not done it before, best $50 bucks you can spend, safe alot of $$ due to HD's labor costs.
It took me a few hours, bleeding the brakes and adjusting the throttle cables took the most time for me

I have an 02 Custom and would like to install the pull back bars. Can anyone tell me which bars I could use that would not require new cables. Thanks,

Jim
