Question about the Touring pullback handlebars for an '08 FLHT

Does anyone have these bars mounted on your bike? If so do you have a pic to share? Did you have to get any other parts (like brake lines). Do the throttle wires still run inside the bars?

Thanks

I have the pull backs but I don't have fly by wire.

Had to change the clutch cable and due to my raked forks, the front brake lines too which will not be needed for a bike, just trike.

Wish I could help more besides saying.. They made a huge difference for me, riding position much more comfortable.

I have an 09 EG that I put the reach bars on. I went ahead and ran the TBW and electrical inside. All wires were long enough but the clutch cable is kinda tight, may end up replacing it or routing it outside the fairing. I'm 5'7" with short arms so they helped alot but I still have some pain between shoulders. Thinking maybe reach seat next.

Speak with Allen (badx), Mean City Cycles, before purchasing a new seat.

He can help you with that seat and most important, if he can't he will tell you that too. Good guys. They've done a couple for me.

I have them on my 08 FLHX and love them. Traveling now and don't have pics. I had to change the clutch cable but used the same cables on the brakes. All wiring is internal now also.

So I think the consensus is the only thing I need is a new clutch cable then?
The brake lines were plenty long enough? Wiring? I always can extend those.

Thanks
