Default Which Handlebars?

I really need bars that have more pull back than necessarily more height. Are there bars out there that would give me more pull back and a "tad" more height?

I went with Touring pullback handlebars from H.D. 56176-08. Those are advertised as 2" pullback. Those bars are for 08 and up models.

Those worked for me and worked with my mirrors and lines ,cables, etc. Around a hundred bucks.They look almost stock on the ultra. just enough so I don't have to hunch over reaching for the bars . I can straighten up my shoulders on longer trips and eliminate the pain in the neck and between the shoulder blades.
The HD web site parts and accessories pages have a good selection of bars to choose from . A good place to start searching.

You not only ride those bars, but you "live" them?

I just got my Khromewerks 300515 +2 wide sweepers in the mail the other day.
These are about 2" closer to you and 3" wider than stock with an improved wrist position.
I had the same bars without TBW on my 06 FLHT which were the 300505.
I liked them so much , I figured the new bike needed a set also.
The shaping and price make them a hard deal to beat now days.
Here's a nice writeup by BertK here at the forum.

I am going with a 38649-08 clutch cable and poly bushings on mine.

im still not sure the khromewerks 515 or the wildones575, but no way on the hd pullback, the wrist angle was horrible for me.
