Default Road Glide Bars?

My riding buddy wants to put new bars on his Road Glide. I have the sweepers plus 2 on my ultra and he likes them, what would be comparable for his Road Glide? He needs to add 2" height and 2" back and we need to not have to buy all cables, brake lines etc. I know the clutch cable is probably a given.
thanks for your help

If he likes the sweepers, why not use them?

I installed these on mine & made a huge difference http://www.khromewerks.com/STRETCH-H...1029-1272.html

Can these be installed with only a longer clutch cable?

Lots of guys use the Khrome Works 2+2's and are happy with them. I believe, but do your own research, these can be installed without any cable changes at all, just a small extension on the wires.

Then you have the monkey bagger bars crowd that swear by those but you're looking at cable changes w/ those.

I removed the green connector on my TBW, which required me to extend the wires on the TBW. Not certain you *have* to do that with these bars if you keep the green connector.

None of the other cables needed changed.

I have 2+2 sweepers on my FLHTC and although they cured trapezius soreness on longer rides, I am now too close to the bars and can't find a comfortable seat that moves me back far enough. One change just leads to another.

I had the +2 sweepers on my SG. I had to change my clutch cable. Everything else was fine. I tried adjusting out the clutch cable out. It did not work. I can't see the 2+2 not needing a clutch cable. The TBW was fine as was the brake line. I'll be getting the +2 sweepers for my RGU soon enough. +2 was good for me. I'm 5'10" . I don't want be jammed into my seat.
