Default New 2" Pullback Bars On 14 Limited

I replaced the stock bars on my 2014 Limited today with the 2" Pullback, Harley part # 56176-08. Took me about 5 hours with help from my son and brother. Special thanks to Gotwages here on the forum. His pictures and description of his bar swap were just enough to give me the confidence to try this. https://www.hdforums.com/forum/touri...with-pics.html

Didn't need to extend or reroute any wires or cables. There was actually a few inches of slack in the TBW wires under the fairing. The clutch cable just fit.

Only had a chance to ride it a couple of miles so far but I think they are perfect. With the stock bars I was leaning forward to reach them, not comfortable at all. Now I sit more upright and arms are relaxed.

If they are the same as the pre 14 pull back bars, they are the same height as stock but the pull back is 2" longer...I'm 5'9" and they served their purpose for a few years but the 12" bars I recently installed feel a hell of a lot better...

Go a couple inches higher and you will notice a bigger difference

I'm 5' 10". I had these on my 09 Ultra for 20k+ and really liked them. For having such a small change in bar size, they make a big difference in riding position, imho.

Today I completed the same swapas the OP. As he stated, no wires or lines need to be exchanged or re-routed. All you need is the bars and a Service Manual. Everything works great. It took me about 5.5 hours working alone. I think I could do it again in 3 hours or less.

The new fairing design is much easier to work with than the previous models.

Any pics of the finished project?

I'm curious how they look, considering this as a future upgrade myself.

Great thread as I really need bars that come back about 2" but have a few questions. The 2014 HD accessory book states they fit through 2013, obviously you have a 14 and they fit, did that require any modifications? I also see the book states you need fairing plugs and bar mounted mirrors???
