If you are talking about the HD Pullback bars, to me they feels like you are holding onto a wheel barrel.

My dealer charges 6 hours labor for a bar change
and 8 hours labor for internally wired bar change.

I had dlr. install 2" HD touring pullback bars at 1k service. They made a minor yet significant improvement for me. They are not a big noticable difference, just enough that I didn't have to lean forward and reach. That made a huge difference on the between shoulder strain and fatigue on all day rides.

If you want to maintain the stock look but add just a little more comfort , they'll do it.
Just reroute the clutch cable behind the tripple trees and it is all good.

The angle is a bit different and makes the bars closer to you... no cable changes here... You need to take out the radio to make the job easier... i didn't on mine, i took the risers out from under the triple tree... Talk about wiggle room... there isn't much...
Makes my ride a lot better... now i want 14" apes...

Charging two hours for the change is pretty cheap. It took me about 5 hours to do mine Witt the wild one wo575.

WO575's are internally wired and will take longer than the HD Pullback bars which are not.
However 2 hours for them and 5 hours for yours is still quite fast.

I had kromewerks standard wide sweepers put on. Only the wires needed to be extended to run in the bars. I'm very happy with them!

I think the Wild Ones 575 look a lot better.

I personally have the Harley Pullbacks on my 07 EG and like them a lot. Had to lower them
by turning them down at the clamp because the wrist angle was off for me.
Very comfortable for me now.
Ran the clutch cable behind the Fairing and the stock length was ok.
Just straightened the brake line a little and it worked too.
They were about $60 when I got them. Non TBW.

Talked with dealer yesterday and they told me 6 hrs to do. I mentioned that I didn't think I needed to change cables or wires and they told me no way.... Have tried several times and can't be done. Have to extend throttle wires and cables. To me looks like brake line is plenty long and a reroute of clutch cable would work. What about wiring for throttle and heated hand grips ??
