Hello all, I have an 08 EG with TBY. does any body have a brand and part # for handle bars that would be 2" up and 2" back and do you really have to add new cables. Thanks

I run the khromewerks sweepers. The TBW bikes use the pn# 300515 for the 2" and you will need a clutch cable 38649-08. Wild one 575's or Ergo bars would be other good choices.

I run the Khromewerks bars too. I was cheap and didn't replace either cable. So far so good. The price sure is right compared to any others.

I took Dawgs advice and went with the sweepers. They work well.

Sweepers on my Road Glide. Still like them after 2 years and 20K miles.

I tried the Khromewerks sweepers and while a great bar they were just to wide for this little guy. So I saw these http://www.sideroadcycles.com/Americ...lassic2-2.html on ebay and bought them. They are not really made for the TBW bikes but with a little blacksmithing i.e. cutting a notch in the right end for the throttle sensor they turned out to be perfect fit for me. They are 31inches wide same as stock. Scroll down the above page and there is a diagram for the notches that need to be cut.

Default For what it's worth. I kust installed the Heritage bars
on my 09 RKC HD part # 56902-08
2" higher and 2" back
No changes required for wires or cables or lines. Everything already on the bike fits.
