I just got these on my Street Glide. 20% off the bar and clutch cable(when I bought the bike), an 11 dollar gasket is all that is needed
Bars $150(I paid $120)
Cable $99(I paid $80)
Gasket $11
Total cost $260(I paid $210)
3 hours labor (200 dollars) to install.
So 460 for the whole thing.
Well worth it, solved the back problems. BTW - they threw a new set of grips on for free(I bought the grips).
Also, HD says you can't do this on a streetglide. That is so wrong - but you have to be willing to set the bars lower than the mirrors - I like them that way, so it works great. However, you can also remove the fairing mirrors and plug the holes.
Best mod you can make if you get back pain.

i put the krome werks sweepers +2 on last saturday, for the cost of the bars. routed the clutch cable out of the fairing, down the frame like my old softail. total cost= cost of the bars ~ $70. if you can wrench at all, you can change bars.
I went with the Klock Werks Ergo Back bars. My bike is in storage and they called today to tell me its all done. I have had the same issues with back and shoulders. I cant wait to see if it helps.
The bike and bars look good. I have ordered me a set of Heritage style bars that have 2 inches more of pull back and 1.5 " of rise over stock road king bars. I will have to do the wrenching myself on this but after studying the service manual, it dosen't look too hard. I can't wait to get rid of that back pain between the shoulder blades

Another guy mentioned he did the '08 Heritage bars on his RK. No new cables/lines needed. Bars are $65 through Zanotti. He's happy with the results.
I'm considering doing something similar. Dealer quoted me $200 labor, including $50 to transfer the heated grips. Not sure what would be involved if I did it myself but will look into it.
Got the 2'' pull backs on, wires inside, cleaned the look up. I wish I'd done this some time ago. Really makes a difference, comfort, using the back rest, really able to kick back and relax. No more stretching for the bars. It truly sweetend up the ride a lot! Shoulder pain gone, back pain gone, litteraly like sitting in the Lazy Boy. Oooohh baby!!
Hey Tima,
Congratulations on the pull backs! I wished I'd done mine sooner too! Nice pictures, too.
Hurry up springtime!!
