I had the same issue with my Ultra. I removed the stock bars and installed Wild 1 Chubbies 575's. Love the bars and also the clean look of the wires inside of the bars. The pain in the middle of back has been gone since installation.

Hard to say what's causing your problem. Bars can be tricky because you won't know if you like them until you've ridden several hundred miles, and by that time you're out some major bucks.

I felt I was reaching too far after I had a seat made that moved me back, so I choose the Wild 1 575. Still waiting on the install, so I hope they work.

Wild One 575 but you may have a little problem with the stock mirrors on the street glide
