RE: Street Glide Handel Bars
Thanks. I'm also considering a different handel bar with a litle more pullback. Stock bars seems to give me that shoulder blade burn I used to get with my Sportster before I put on a set of Road Kind Touring bars. Thanks again for the info.

That is why I get a sore left sholder!!!! Plus I could lean back on the bike more with bars that would come back to me more too.

Harley pullback bar.Fits '97-later Electra Glide® models. Requires separate purchase of clutch cable P/N 38649-98, throttle/idle cable and Brake line Kit P/N 45212-97B.
tip to tip
30.75"
base width
15.00"

These are supposed to bring everything 2' closer to you.Of course as others said Wild1 has some really nice bars if you like the larger diameter bars and internal wiring.I personally like the stock bars and the only reason I swapped mine was to install a set I had powdercoated black.

Thank you for the info and part numbers. I was not sure if I would have to deal with cables too!!!! That sort of adds a few more $$$ to the whole deal.

RE: Street Glide Handel Bars
Bob honestly Im not so sure you can't do it with the cables you have on the bike now rather than swapping.
I'm sure somebody here has done a swap for a similar bar and can answer for sure if you would need new cables or not.
Also have you thought about trying to rotate the bars back to you just a bit rather than changing the bars all together?

RE: Street Glide Handel Bars
Yes I do remember someone on here did it just before the riding season started too. I had not really thought about rotating the bars, that might be a good place to start for a little bit of added comfort too.
Thanks
