Default pull back bars

On my street glide with the back rest I cant reach the bars if I lean back, anyone put these on and did they make a difference. Any picks or comments on them would be cool. I didnt want to get a reach seat do to the fact I like the leg room even though I am short. Also didnt really like the look of it on my bike.

Default RE: pull back bars

Not sure what you mean by "short" I am 5'6" and on my EG I installed the Wild'1 575 plus I went to Corbin in Hollister and had a seat built for my Butt - ya it would be called a close seat - however, I have plenty of leg room.... So, will the 575's work for you - I would suggest you try and find someone in your area that has them installed and try them out - they may or may not work and allow you to lean back into your back rest.

I have 13" cyclesmith apes, and they pull back quite a bit-- I'm not sure if they have a shorter version though.

Darryl, I have the Wild One 508's on my Road King and really like them. They have about 4 inches more pullback than the stock bars (might be a little different on your SG, though). They have me sitting upright with still some bend in my elbows. They're a good option, although on the '07 Road King they required new cables and an extension to the wire harness.
