Default Sweepers installed

I installed a set of the Khrome Werks Sweeper +2 this weekend on my RG. Every thing went smoothly with no surprises thanks to all the information I have read on the HD forum and a phone conversation I had with PhilM.

I wanted my hand position higher with more pullback and I got both. They feel great and an added bonus is that the slow speed stearing feels lighter with the new bars. I guess they provide a longer lever.

Thanks to all that have taken the time to post their experience in changing bars on the Roadglides, the information was invaluable. A special thanks to Phil.

What year bike did you put them on? I am thinking of putting them on my 08 egc. Did you need to change the clutch cable? Do you have TBW if so did you have to change that to a longer one?

I put them on an 07 so no issues with TBW. When I talked to the Khrome Werks people they stated that the electraglides required a +3 cable for the sweepers +2. The Roadglides do not require the longer cable because you can reroute the cable very similar to the cable routing on a RK. I don't know about the TBW but the Khrome Werks folks can probably answer that question if someone on the forum doesn't answer first.

I think this is my favorite upgrade so far.

I have them on my 08 Ultra, TBW is not an issue. No extensions needed and Khromewerks has the bars with the notches already cut out. Yes you need the +3 cable with the installation. That would be pn#38649-08 for the HD clutch cable.

I really like the sweepers on my RG too.

I also replaced my mirrors with the set off my 04 Sportster. They have a slightly longer stem which allows good visibility behind.

Default Sweepers on a SG or EG

If you put Sweepers on a SG or EG.. any bike with the Batwing fairing with the "fairing mirrors"

You can do this.. And not have to put mirrors in the handlebars.. Very CLEAN..!!!

I recently installed a set of Khrome Werks 300515 +2 Wide Sweeper bars on my 2008 Street Glide and ran the wire internally. Here a write-up on the process, along with these pics.

I have the sweeper bars on my '06 SG. Had to change all the cables including the brake line. I actually used the stock Brake line from a RG which gave me the extra length I needed.
The bars are a vast improvement over stock but If you don't have broad shoulders you may find the bars a little to wide. The hand/wrist position is good but I still think I can use another inch coming back. Overall I am going to stick with the sweepers.

I Like the mirrors, what's the part number and who's the manufacturer?
