Default klockwerks ergo bars.

I bit the bullet and ordered a set from cateyecustoms. They had the best price I could find. When I was in Sturgis I sat on one of the Klockwerks bikes that had them and they felt pretty good. They swore that you could use stock cables and brake line so hopefully you can.

I put their ergo back bars on my 08 Ultra, no cable change was needed. I love them.

I had them put on last winter. They changed one cable but I can not remember which cable it was? They are great bars. I am swapping to Monkey Bars this winter. I will be selling then later this winter (black back). If you are thinking about going to Ergo bars you will be happy, they are very comfortable.

put them on today and it was an easy job. It is too cold to ride here in Montana but first impression is not really great LOL. pretty wide and flat, I don't remember them being so wide in sturgis. No cable/wires needed and had plenty of slack in everything. The internal wires clean things up a bit. They have a lot more heft then the stock bars which should be a good thing.

I swapped my seats around and with my Mustang seat it feels good. I have a low profile C&C that I really like but it sits me down and back and just too much of a reach for me. The mustang seat feels like I remember the bars felt in Sturgis. I am 5'10" with normal length arms. i was sitting on the bike and I turned the radio on and the song "bad to the bone was playing" and I thought it was fitting LOL.
