Default Wildones still the only choice?

I have an 08 Ultra and am really wanting to install&nbsp\\;some pullback handlebars. Being there is a flywire throttle, it seams no one except wildones have any available. I would prefer to stay with a 1 inch bar, or I would have the wildones installed already. I just need the reach back about 2 inches and maybe an inch taller as well. Ideas??

Cycle smith's has some mini apes that might work. I am customizing my seat first to see if that helps. If I can lower myself and move forward an inch I might be cool

Did you need to replace cables and is it notched for the flywire throttle? How much pull back or height did you gain, and where did ya get them?

Krome Werks has a set of 08 Pullback bars for baggers now that do not put your wrist at a bad angle.
New product. From the COmpany:

"Take a look at our new Sweeper Handlebars for 2008 models.&nbsp\\; www.khromewerks.com &nbsp\\;New Products&nbsp\\;&nbsp\\; Ref: 300515"

I just installed the Khrome Werks +2 Sweeper bars on my 08 Ultra. 1" pullback &amp\\; 2" taller. The only thing you'll need is +4 clutch cable. Got them from Warehouse Direct (sponsor here). Part # is 300515. They are set up for the TBW.

Nope. Try Flanders.
Heres the website: http://www.sideroadcycles.com/Americ...lassic2-2.html
You will need to take the bars and have the ends machined for TBW. Flanders provides a pattern on their website.
You may also need a TBW wire extender. That website is: http://www.hdbikeparts.com/

I know, I know, truly a pain in the A**, but, such is life...
