Touring Pullback Handlebars
I've got an 08 Ultra that I find myself leaning forward a little when riding. I'd like to install the touring pullback handlebars but would like some input; pros and cons if any; before I spend the money. THANKS!

I installed them. I didnt like the angle they put your wrists. Too twisted, very uncomfortable.
I then installed the Kromeworks Sweeper bars. Very nice, natural feel.
There is also the Chubby bars 575's I think. people love those also.

I've got 2 inch pullbacks on my older Ultra and I really like them, compared to stock bars on the newer bikes that I've ridden. I am seriously debating foregoing ABS on the bike I will be buying next spring if the pullback bars can't be installed. I guess that's trading safety for comfort, but that's how much I like them.

I have 2" Pullback on my 2008 Standard w/abs. I had HD bars modified by a local builder, added a longer clutch cable and used the same brake line and tbw unit. It can be done. I love these bars!

I also installed the Khrome Werks sweepers on my 07 RG.
Here's the thread I started on them:

I have a set of 1-1/4" Carlini Touring bars that have quite a bit of pull-back that I would like to sell. PM me if interested and I will send a picture of them on my bike.

I have the khromewerks Sweeper bars on my SG (not shown in the sig pic), they are better than stock but they still don't do the trick for me. They are a little to wide and I would like about another inch pullback.

I am looking for 2" pullbacks. I rode about 400 miles yesterday, and since the accident last summer, I minded it more in the mid shoulder blade portion of my upper back/lower neck. I find I am leaning forward too far, not much, but still enough to make the difference. I never noticed it for the past 6 years on the same bike. Anyone have a good part number on handlebars that will give me about 2" of pullback? I am happy with the 1" bars. I have the ram mount for my gps on the 1" bars and do not wish to change it.
