Default Pull Back Bars for 1200C

Sean was able to get my new Pull Back handlebars on my new sporty. For all of you who were wanting to know…They are great! I am 5’4” and they completely solved my reach problem. I rode all day on Sunday without any pain or discomfort. I will get pics posted this evening. They really don’t look much different but make all the difference in the world!

Glad to hear you got them changed. If I were to ride a bike with drag bars very far, I'd be in traction for a week because of my lower back. Once you get your engine guard and highway pegs installed and get a bag for the passenger seat, you'll think you are in your favorite recliner.

Thanks for letting us/me know....guess I will get them installed - no sense having them sit in a box in the garage. After this weekend's rides - I am ready for something that will give me more comfort!

Heather -

Glad the new bars solved your reach problem, and congrats to Sean for a job well done! Now, if they'd only fit the 2005 XL1200R and solve my problem...

Enjoy the ride

Heather,

When you take those pictures of your new bars please be sure to get a 90 and 270 degree shot so we can see the amount of pullback.

Howdy Heather, sorry about being slow to respond, but I am glad that the new handle bars solved some of your problems. I sometimes wonder if HD puts short bars on their bikes so people will spend some money to improve them? I am getting some mini-apes on my Springer in the hopes that they will be a little more comfy than stock. Glad to hear that you are happier with the new bars. Enjoy the ride

You're arms are probably a little longer than mine!
