This was on my 2002 Ultra.

Thanks to everyone for the pics here and via email. I'd really like to see these on a bike, where I can put my hands on them and see them in person. Anybody in the Dallas area running the HD pullbacks, esp. on a Street Glide, and would you mind me checking them out? Thanks again!

I wanted something different this time so I'm running 12" apes.
They are what they are, in a perfect world I would have gone with Yaffe style 10".
On my last two bikes I ran Wild 1 Chubby WO575.
They don't look any different than stock, but has just enough pull back and height to be comfortable (with the perfect wrist angle)

I put them on my 2012 Limited and took them right off. To get my wrists straight I had to pull my elbows in to my stomach. I went with the 10" Chubby's and they are great. I have them pulled back as much as possible so I can lean back a bit.

I looked at the pull back, took a set over to a bike on the showroom floor and for me didn't like the wrist angle. I busted my right wrist years ago and the flex is limited. Wrist angle will also vary with shoulder width. I have broad shoulders which puts my hands and arms out further. Put the W1 575 and very pleased.
As with it all, your results will vary.

I don't know if these bars are like the ones that have on my 2000 Ultra but they do look like them.
I've had them on my bike for seveal years and I love 'em.
THese bars, combines with the Cruise Control and a rider backrest, and a beverage holder, makes the miles go by almost effortlessly.
I had to buy an extended clutch cable but the other OEM cables worked fine.
The one drawback (depending on your leg length) with these bars is that in really tight turns you have to be careful that your legs don't interfere with the handlebars.

I put them on my '12 Ultra....had them on an '07 Electra Glide also....very comfortable....they are 'wheelbarrow' like, but still very comfortable.
The TBW had plenty of excess and I re-routed the clutch cable...behind the crash bar....the brake line had plenty also.
Didn't have to replace any cables, operates fine.
