Touring Pullback Bars
have put close to 1k miles on the Street Glide so far and find the stock bars are giving me shoulder/ neck pain after about 45 mins - 1 hour. I am bringing the bike to the dealer for a few mods at the end of the month. Would like to hear from anyone that has changed put to the HD touring pull back bars. Big or little improvment? I have seen posts about the Wild ones, but am curios about the HD bar experience.
Thanks
Mike

RE: Touring Pullback Bars
I had touring pullback HD bars on my 95 Roadking. I like them, and they stopped all the shoulder pain associated with the factory Roadking bars.

lil_gmac - What kind of bars are they? It looks like you can't see anything but knuckles with your mirrors though, right? And did you have to change all your cables out?

Reduced Reach. DIY. No wire extensions needed.

I'm 5'7 and you can see I'm still a few degrees forward. I may try tilting them back a little. But much better than stock. Those were bad for me.

Whatever bars you end up with replace the rubber bushings with the polyeurothane ones( where they attach to the upper triple tree). I have found that the rubber ones have too much give in them and tend to let the bars move to odd angles causing some uncomfort.
