Does anyone out there have experience with Harley pull back Handlebars. I have fairing mounted mirrors that I want to keep when I install the pull back bars. After installing my new wide solo from Mustang, I am looking to bring the bars back to help with back pain from reaching. I am curious if anyone knows how much adjustability the bars have to work with the mirrors.
I have that set up on mine. Works great. I had back trouble when I leaned into the bars now I can sit straight up without any pain even on long trips. And I also have no proble seeing with the fairing mounted mirrors

I have a new astree Glide and I'm going with WO575 bars....they are pullback also, as for mirrors, I feelmthe fairing mirrors are crumy anyway so I don't really care, always do a head check befor lane changes....but I too like the look of them...
I just installed the Klockwerks Ergo Back bars and now I have an awesome view of my knuckles. I really liked the stock mirrors too.
That was my other choice for bars. I really like those, but noticed they were a bit wider and might cause problems for mirrors. Did you check out the kurakyn mirrors that extend out, and use the fairing mount location?
If this helps, we have them on our 09 Street Glide so I attached some photos. This has been my wife's bike and the bars fit her good. I like the pull back of the bars but the wrist angle is a little too much for me. I have to wear a 35" sleeve length if that helps you judge the fit. I don't have any problem with the mirrors but you do block them a little. P.S. Ignore the ugly person reflecting in the mirrors I have never seen him before!
Thanks for pics Stone1. Those look a little wider tip to tip than my oem bars. It will be interesting to see how I like these. Too expensive to do twice (or more). I am 6' 250. You've got me wondering about the wrist angle, that's what is so different from ergo bars. I just needed to move myself back off tank for legroom and comfort. Funny how one thing leads to another.

i also couldn't stand the wrist angle,didn't even put the bike back together returned the bars and ordered the 575"s,they are wider but wrist angle is much better for me.
I have the HD touring 2" pullback bars and I really like them. I don't have fairing mirrors but I do have the bars tilted down a good bit only because I'm pretty short. 5'6".
