I put the HD 2" Pullbacks on my 07... No cable change...I like them but i am 6' tall...The angle is Different than stock...If you want the same angle as stock bars, don't use those...Talk to Chubby's or other bar Mfg's or try to sit on somebody's bike with different bars...If i was shorter i would use a Ergo bar of a Chubby....Do your homework...Get them a bit higher and 3" pullback and do the cables...Don't half *** it...You won't regret.

I'm 6' have a 02 FLHTCI with a corbin dual touring saddle, which sits back farther than the stock seat, I tried harleys(got the longer clutch,throttel cables) extended reach bars but the angle really bothered my wrists, so I went with the ergo bars by klock works, I got the middle ones and these worked out good for me, the ends are more straight like a drag bar. took awhile to get used to having my wrists straight but on long rides it was just the ticket.

Buddy of mine has these and the feel nice...If i had the cash to upgrade i would go with them....Bought the HD one for $40 and changed myself so it was a good deal...Maybe next year...
Klock werks makes a very nice product.

Then he tells me that on the ABS bikes the dealer has to "recalibrate em" it will cost mega bucks to do that and change the cables etc. etc. So now I'm looking at the Klock Works Ergo Up bars. Their ad says no cable or wiring changes needed.
So, if anyone has any first hand knowledge. How's do the Klock Work Ergo bars compare to the HD pullbacks or to the WO575's? And what's the straight **** on the recalibrating the ABS brakes if you need to change out a brake line? Thanks.
The only line that was changed on my bike was the clutch cable. I had the dealer install the bars for me and that was the only thing that was needed.

I only have two regrets: I did not have them internally wired and I didn't switch them out sooner.
I agree with you completely, the first 50 miles i though i had messed up but after riding several hundred I got use to them. And let tell you after i took that first 1500 mile trip I loved them.
