Question 08 Pullback Question

Harley describes the 08 Touring Pull Back Handlebars as a kit (part #56176-08). Can anyone tell me why they call it a kit and what's it include?

If they are anything like the older pullbacks you may want to read:
The Harley Pullback bars (to me) sucked. Made my wrist too twisted. The ends of the bars point back toward the driver too much.
The Kromeworks is much more natural. I am 5'-10" and I love em.
The Kromeworks version for Glides is 34” grip to grip with 12” center straight section. +2" Sweepers on Electra Glide models requires longer clutch cable, OEM #38649-98. I used the 38649-08.
300515 +2 Wide Sweeper f/08 FLHT.
Ronnie Lewis at Lewis Custom cycles got them for me (606)672-2453.
You can adjust the pullback even more than I did, I have a Mustang solo seat and backrest. No longer have the shoulder blade and neck ache from the stock bars. They do pullback 2" more inches.

Kind of hard to see but the kromeworks dont point back at the ends so drastically. I like em better.
