I have been waiting for the Pull back handlebars for the 08 Ultra, now their out and I can't install them with the ABS and the heated grips. Anybody have a soution to this problem Or has anyone in the know heard if HD is going to come out with a solution.
Thanks John

Have you checked out the "sweeper" bars from www.khromewerks.com yet?

They are making them for the TBW models now.

I have Kromewerks.

There is also:

The 575's seem to be what people are using there.

I don't know, but was told by a H-D tech that the length of the brake lines cannot be changed with ABS. Pullbacks require longer brake lines and cables being installed.

Khromewerks Sweeper Bars, (300505), does not require longer brake lines, just longer clutch cable. I have them and they are pretty comfy.

When I made the same inquiry at my local dealer, the parts guy said that the Heritage bars will do the trick. He said that is what the MOCO is putting on all of the new cop bikes. He said that the stock cables would work...just barely. Haven't checked into this any further.

I installed a set of modified pre-08 HD Pullback bars. I added a longer clutch cable, but no change to the brake line or wires. I also have ABS.
