Default 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

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.

Regards,

Bill

I used them on my bike, I am very happy with them.[sm=smiley20.gif][sm=smiley20.gif]

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?

I went with the Chubby bars by wild 1 on my new RKC, a bit less to get setup with vs HD. No more shoulder pain and the hidden wires look great.

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.

That is almost enough to keep me from ever buying them.
