To the OP, the Ergo Back bars are indeed flatter and with a minimal pull back (great wrist position!) But if you look at thier drawings that overlay the standard, Up and Back bars - the wrist position is def closer to the rider. Basically they lay flat across at the same place the very end of where the stock bars are.

I'm ordering Back bars for my FLHTK and can't wait to get em!

Thanks, I've seen the comparison overlay they show and agree that the hand position is much more neutral. My concern is that it's not far enough back for my needs. I have yet to see any of them installed to really judge how they would work.

Would you mind posting pictures and your thoughts once you have them installed and have tried them out?
