I have a 2008 Street Glide.
I am picking up a Touring Pullback Handlebar pn# 56176-08 after work today and have a few questions.
1. From all I have read it seems I will not have to change any of the cables since I am only going 2 inches. (I am assuming I can reroute some cables without actually having to remove the cables, mostly worried about the front brake, I do not want to introduce air into the system since I have ABS.)
2. Will I need to install mirrors since the fairing mounted mirrors may be blocked?
3. If I should install new mirrors will they just bolt onto the switch housings I already have?
Anything else I need to look out for?

 

Hey t-bear,

Start with reading this. It may answer a few questions for you. There are probably others but this will give you an idea of what you are getting into:

I have the same bars on my SG.

They can be installed with the stock clutch cable (reroute cable inside fairing), the stock brake line (slightly loosen banzo fitting and adjust it) and you can still see (if you call it that) out of the fairing mirrors.

 

Do you have a picture of your bike with the bars?
Did it make a difference? I am getting pain in my shoulders and want to bring the grips a little higher and closer but still be behind the fairing.

If I like seeing out of my mirrors I guess I should pick up separate handle bar mounted ones?

 

I had the same burning pain on my shoulders. The 2" pull back bars took care of that and I also had my seat modified by Mean City Cycles to push me forward another inch.

Mirrors, look at the Wicked Image fairing mount mirrors. They stick out further and their made of metal instead of plastic.

 

Sounds good, I have heard that the wrist position may not be good.
is it different than with the stock bars?

 

The top bar is stock.
The Second bar is the Chubby 575.
The Third is the HD wheel barrow pullback bars.

yes the wrist angle is different, as is how bars are measured between suppliers. IMO

 

I've gotten used to the wrist position but it could be better.....

 

WHat exactally is the correct wrist position other than just "feels good" position. There has to be a align position...

 

I have +2 sweepers. I didn't need to extend anything. But did the clutch cable anyway. Didn't want to wind out the adjustment to save a few bucks. Glad I did it.
