"Both versions also available +2 – two inches taller than standard Sweeper. +2 Sweepers on Electra Glide models requires longer clutch cable, OEM #38649-98. Harley- Davidson offers a Twist Grip Sensor Kit, p/n 32310-08 with 29” longer wires to eliminate wire splicing of the sensor unit."

-This is what it says on the website, sounds like might need a throttle sensor extension? Were you able to go this without any electrical extensions?

You won't need any extensions. You won't need a new TBW sensor. The 32310-08 is only for internally wired bars and doesn't have the green clip in-line. There is about 4-6" of slack in the TBW sensor. They also list the wrong clutch cable for the 08 and later bikes. It's 38649-08.

Are you sure you need new bars? Sounds like you need a backrest if you're already leaning back.

Find the Kromewerks you want (if that's what you decide) in Drag Specialties catalog, get their model number then use that number to order from Zanottis and save 20%. I paid $49.92 for the sweepers and really like them. I'm 6'2" and with these and a backrest - ride all day.

I got the Klock Werks Ergo back bars. They were not cheap but I am very happy I got them. the wrist position makes a big difference.

I meant that I feel like I need to lean back more.

Thanks for the help guys, I think I will try this route.

Khromewerks sweepers on mine too. The extra width takes a little getting used to. It's a bit of a stretch at full lock for me. Minor forward, back adjustments make a lot of difference. I think I've got mine right now. Definately an improvement over stock. Oh yea, I had to change mirrors, but thats ok, more bling.
