I have a 05 Ultra with the tallboy seat. I am to far back from the handlebars. I need to know what kind of bars I can use to be more comfortable. The dealer recommends the touring pullbacks. Anyone else have any suggestions

To me the pullbacks make your wrist position awkward. I use and recommend Khromewerks 300505 sweeper bars. Got several different pics of them in various positions showing the pullback, etc. At $63 it's a great bargain bar compared to the Wild One Cubby 575's which is also a good bar, but pricey.

I agree with Dawg on the Touring Pullbacks from HD. It's like driving a wheel barrel.

Where can I see a pic of these bars. Need something comfortable due to metal plate and six screws in my neck. Are they as wide as the stock. Do they come back toward the rider a little more than stock

Here they are compared to the stock bars (300505's are on top)


Here's a shot showing the curve and pullback
